Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

That's great that they were able to replace people with equipment that they own and control. Oh what's that? The price and capabilities of this AI can change at any time?
Very safe and cool investment.
They have a lot of wiggle room in pricing software when it's eliminating whole ass people. The software is competing with a floor of 30-40k/yr
Only if it actually can do their job, which is... Doubtful
You need to double employee pay to focus on this. If a person takes home $30K gross, the employer's likely paying double that.
Your pay is not what the employer pays for your labor. At the low end of the pay scale, it's closer to double. Worker's comp insurance, unemployment taxes, HR costs, shitloads of things add up. With AI, they're gambling on deleting all that overhead.
Fair point!
Yes, and as we've seen time and time again, companies are totally cool when operating costs suddenly revert back to what they were years ago.
Can't see why the upcoming price hikes aren't obvious. Think these AI companies are going to eat shit forever?
Have shares in AI API and AI User company.
AI API sucks all the money out AI. Short AI User for the final blow.
????
Profit.
Keep in mind by killing AI User company, you extract money of other shareholders that did NOT pivot.
