This is a brilliant piece of satire. "A Modest Proposal" for the AI age.
The leader bios are particularly priceless. "While working for 12 years as the Director of HR for a multinational, Faith realized that firing people gave her an almost-spiritual high. Out of the office, Faith coaches a little league softball team and looks after her sick mother - obligations she looks forward to being free of!"
If you don’t trust the moderators, who have absolute power, what are you even doing here?
If you have proof or reasonable indicators that policy is a lie, let’s see it. Otherwise, being disdainful and cynical just degrades the discussion and foments unnecessary hate.
Everyone is way above average here on HN, and will be thinking "The article speaks about every other idiot I work with - my genius is singular; I'm too valuable to my employer and irreplaceable. I'll be the one wrangling the AI that replaces my colleagues, while they figure out welfare"
Oh, dont worry if you were actually going to be replaced by AI American oligarchs wouldnt freak out at the prospect of keeping the retirement age exactly where it is because it would be massively deflationary.
"I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout."
