SAW style
So, their arms are stuck in a device that allows them to reach a keyboard. If they can get the AI to do a task correctly they’re free, if not the device cuts of the arms.
It’s why there’s often a human in the loop who has to check the result of the AI and can be blamed if things go wrong. The poor sap can’t possibly check and correct the volumes of slop produced so they’re just there to work as a scapegoat.
Some CEO’s thought they could save a bundle and were eager to replace workers. Other CEO’s saw that, had to do a bunch of layoffs and knew saying “replaced with AI” instead of layoffs keeps stock prices high. Then you have a whole bunch of CEO’s that thought the other guys must be on to something, think they’re missing out and jump into AI both feet first.

No, the capitalists know they need people. It’s a big worry for them. Companies have to grow, but you can’t grow your market if the number of consumers and workers goes down.
At the same time they know that anything to save people is expensive in short term. And they always choose short term first.
Desperate corpos do desperate things
He means they’re not kissing his ass or being intimidated by his threats. Trump can’t deal with anything besides those.
Some of the best parts of a movie is where the actor is improvising. AI made movies would most likely just stick to the script and feel flat and boring.
Announce it and wait for Taco Tuesday.
And soon they’ll report many would rather risk overheating than make the company look bad.
EU is also reducing and disconnecting financial systems, infrastructure, software, critical trade and a bunch of other dependencies. The US and their businesses are less happy about that part.
