Quote from: K-Dog on Jul 26, 2024, 11:12 AMIf you want to know why tech companies have cut jobs, cutting jobs happens to be a FEATURE of capitalism. It is ALWAYS done where it can be done to maintain the army of unemployed and increase PROFITS. Maintaining an unemployed army is essential for profits. Capitalism fails without it. For real.
Of course. The point is though that AI enables them to fire the humans because the AI enables fewer code jockeys to write code faster. So the department that once had 20 EEs writing subroutines now has 5 using ChatGPT getting it done. The irony is that the same guys just fired probably wrote some of the code behind the AI.
