So there’s something I need to get off my chest, and if I post it on my LinkedIn it would be career suicide at my level.
In a company, the largest line item by far is usually payroll. I have been at a number of companies that are trying to cut costs and don’t care if you come up with the correct amount via other OpEx categories, they want headcount reduced because “it’s so much”.
So along comes the promise of a computer bot that understands the normal person and also:
- Does not require sick/vacation time
- Does not take FMLA
- Does not want a bonus/profit sharing/equity
- Don’t have to pay unemployment taxes, Medicare or SSI
- Does not require them to spend money on health insurance
- Will not form a union
- Wont ever file a lawsuit for any number of reasons
- Will work 24/7
And this right there is the exact reason so many CEOs are salivating at the idea of AI. Not for worker efficiency, not for any number of “positive” benefits they may taut, but they finally have a glimpse of the chance to rid themselves of one of the largest headaches that they perceive in a company.


I don’t think you understand their end game here
What do you think it is?
Assuming it’s the evil kill everyone concept: Most people aren’t evil for the sake of evil, but their greed has evil affects. I think they’re all self interested greedy assholes that don’t particularly intend on killing everyone, but they sure will be the cause of a lot of suffering in the wake of their greed.
Like I don’t think the CEO of Starbucks or whatever wants everyone to die, but I do think that if possible they’d fire every single last human working for Starbucks in any capacity, other than themselves, in order to make as much money as humanly possible if AI and robotics could do the work needed.
They’re all real into Karl Schmitt you are still understanding money as money at some point money isn’t money
Searching…
Ahh… Makes sense lol
I didn’t see anything when quickly glancing over his wiki about his thoughts on what money is though. He would definitely be a inspiration for the Republicans “unitary executive theory” that they’re pushing for sure…
No the money thing isn’t him money is just points its tracking who gets to make decisions about what is made the shape of
I’m so done trying g to explain this to libs whose feelings depend strongly on not understanding it
Except you literally didn’t try to explain it at all, but that’s fine.
