    It would be the largest cost cutting measure, but the ruling class won’t allow it.

    Huh I read a dystopian short story about AI micro-managing workers, constantly telling them what to do next to optimize productivity. It ends with near “perfect” dystopian wealth concentration. While in another part of the world they used AI to create a utopia.

    Oh it was called Manna by Marshall Brain

    The gradual takeover of jobs by AI (starting with fast food), The warehousing of the unemployed in state-controlled facilities, A techno-utopian alternative (Australia) where AI liberates rather than enslaves.

      Wow, I remember finding that story 20-odd years ago but could never remember the title or author. Pretty good short story IIRC, and more relevant than ever, it’s themes have been on my mind on and off quite a bit these past few years.

        I couldn’t remember it either. I described it to deepseek in order to find it. Ironically it mistakenly thought

        the short story you’re thinking of is almost certainly “Nanny” by Cory Doctorow. It’s part of his collection Radicalized (published in 2019)".

        If you find it, let me know. I think I might have been conned by deepseek.

        spoiler

        Why the Mix-Up?

        • Both works critique technology-driven capitalism, but Doctorow’s focus is distinct:

          • Radicalized targets corporate control via IoT devices, insurance cruelty, and policing 612.

          • Manna explores algorithmic worker management leading to dystopian/utopian outcomes.

        • I incorrectly merged these narratives due to overlapping themes of technological oppression. My apologies for the oversight.

    I actually think an AI would do a better job at running corporations than a human would. Even if it’s just an LLM. And I don’t mean in a pro-corpo way.

    This is what I told my bosses when AI first showed up and they called a meeting to discussed how to leverage it.

    It’s not going to replace me, it’s going to replace you.

      Delamain has shown me more loyalty and care than 99% of NC. I’m on board.

    Plot twist: board replaces the whole exec layer with CEO AI, keeps the difference, gives nothing to the employees, line goes up, employees now threatened both at the top and the bottom of the ladder, work-work!

      When manual workers were replaced by robots, they were told to “retrain and reskill” to get new jobs.

      Perhaps these CEO’s can retrain to be plumbers, there’s good money there.

    Does it use AI to generate quotes?

    Nevermind, it seems to be using predefined quotes.
