IBM to pause hiring in plan to replace 7,800 jobs with AI - Bloomberg News

[Wild self]

What's going to happen when no one can afford to buy anything.

Cannibalism

"Eat the rich" they said.

More like, "rape their bank accounts and demean their lack of character!"

 

[3rdWorld]

In America yes, because profits come before society.
In Europe and other parts of the world they'll simply ban organizations from using AI. They're already discussing it seriously.

 

[Wild self]

Companies always looking to find a way to not pay people or underpay them for their labor.

Once that shyt gets uncontrollable or hacked they’re gonna be fukked

If no one has disposable income left, then they cannot grow. If people stopped buying their products for whatever reason, their corporation crumbles.

IBM has dumped billions into Watson AI over the past decade. This isn't a now thing. It was likely always in the plans. We don't even call HR for anything outside of serious incidents. The AI chatbot handles most questions.

As long as Arvind don't come for my job we're good.

Nothing but minimum wage jobs will exists , and yet there will exist a sizable group of poor people ( who are barely doing better than most poors) who will defend the rich and call the rest lazy .

[MostReal]

some people still think this is "progress in the name of science."

 

[lib123]

And delusional Coli tech brehs who are also Black somehow believe AI won't threaten their careers.

And people in here were saying fast food workers shouldn’t get paid more during the pandemic…

One of us, one of us

 

[Stir Fry]

Changing my name to Allen Iverson so I can still get hired.

Be The Answer, brehs

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

This was the shyt we should be concerned with

But once it backfires on them…

It will only backfire if you make politicians impose penalties on them.

Capitalism will always bend social needs to the almighty dollar

 

[King Jove]

The government is so behind on AI regulation by the time they actually do something about it, it will be too late.

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

If we were smart we'd be trying to automate as much as possible to free ourselves from the toil of labor and capitalism.

Unfortunately this shyt will be a utter disaster for millions of people before things get better, under our current ecoomic system
