Also, yes, it's not a coincidence that AI hype is happening at the same time as disorganizing layoffs. In their fever dreams, they really do own intelligent machines rather than employ intelligent people. But they rationally know that's not going to happen. But they can make you afraid it will, and they can embed AI shit into the all the tools you have to use, so that you can do no work without renting the necessary tools from your boss.
