That's the thing. They've proven that it's profitable now. They've shown in countless different sectors that slashing jobs and replacing them with AI has been profitable. They've never done it at the executive level because they'd be voting in their own redundancy. They, unlike 99% of those other sectors, actually get to have a say in what happens here. Why would they ever willingly kill their own jobs? They'll slash everyone elses first to raise their profits as much as humanly possible. I genuinely don't see that ever changing unless some Delamain type shit happening where the AI gains enough ability to forcibly takeover the company without anyone ever noticing.
