    Economists say businesses are now replacing entry-level jobs with artificial intelligence.

    Oh good so there’s literally no way to climb the corporate ladder, now. I wonder how they think senior-level jobs will ever be able to be filled when the old ones age out and they’ve never had anyone entry-level to train up to a senior position? Or are they really so stupid as to think that the AI will eventually replace senior roles too? Or maybe it’s not that they’re stupid but they need it to happen so badly whether the AI is worth a shit or not that they’ll throw everything they can at it to try to make their wet-dream of unquestioning digital slaves happen?

      No business is making 15 year plans, quarterly numbers must go up, lest the shareholders kick you out. Blame capitalists for this one.

        Aww boo hoo how hard it must be to get kicked out with… *checks notes… A golden parachute.

        (To be clear I am not chiding you, I can read your sarcasm here, I know we agree on this, just adding to the absurdity)
