    It’s not about the money, it never was. If it were a matter of costs, subcontractors would have never existed.

    They just have wet dreams of businesses that run without having to rely on humans. That’s all.

    Humans ask for raises, get sick, want vacations or just want to get the fuck out of there and do something else than working. That’s communism, in their book: You all not being a bunch of docile slaves.

    I don’t know who is gonna end up buying the products they sell, anyway…

      We’ve seen that trend for decades already. Neo-liberalism was all about trickling up wealth created by work.

      But you see that in all advanced economies: commoners budget are tighter and tighter as cost of life increase faster than wages. That’s the expected outcome of neo-liberalism.

      Now politicians pretend the housing crisis is an anomaly and car makers wonder why sales are slowing down. AI is bad, but it only accelerates and amplifies what was already happening.
