Nearly half of US firms using AI say goal is to cut staffing costswww.smh.com.au Some 45 per cent of firms surveyed said they had added technology since January 2022 to automate what had once been employees’ tasks.

the thing most people, sadly, seem to not understand is that this is win/win for firms. even if you fire everyone you actually need, you then hire others to do the same thing and pay them less. people assume ignorance where there is malice, it's very sad.

that's unfortunately true

HAL (to Dr. Chandra): Thank you for telling me the truth.

And gather data.
