    Well good thing we can trust Microsoft, it’s not like they’ve ever done anything evil before

    Don’t worry - AI will actually make your jobs better

    It could if companies like Microsoft were driven by actually making people’s jobs (never mind lives) better, and not just by increasing their profit for ever and ever.

    But they aren’t so it won’t, which makes them saying it will, even more disgustingly ridiculous.

    My department laid off a bunch of admin staff and replaced them with a poorly implemented GPT 4 HR bot that is always offline or daydreaming.

    I have one of them on LinkedIn and they definitely aren’t doing well at the moment.

        I dunno about that. I went to school with her and it’s sad to see her life kind of spiralling and her self esteem fall cause she got replaced by a shitty software program.

          Look, Im not a monster. I justthink its important that the shit eventually flows sufficiently uphill to the yuppie educated professional class so they get to the part where they are understand how they fit in the whole “and then they came for me” part in the famous saying.

          Education or any of their other often snobby anodynes for society’s ills is not the (whole) answer, nor is it even most of it. In similar words as people like to say, she should go learn to code with her substantial severancw if she received any and join the pile of the rest of society’s burdened and dejected
