    Kind of the be expected when you threaten the livelihoods of them and their families. CEOs often seem to forget that they are laying off actual people who need to eat.

    If a mass terrorist threatened the livelihoods of a thousand people, no one would feel bad about them getting threatened. But when a CEO does it to get rich they’re supposed to be rewarded?

    he reportedly told the audience: “It doesn’t take much effort to convince people, in the end, that they’re stupid to be paying $100 for labour when you can pay $2 for the AI.”

    What a dumbass. Who’s going to run the AI for you you and validate it’s output? What happens when the tokens cost more than an employee? You gonna beg them to come back?

    Fucking knob head.

      except AI will cost $200 the moment you need to put it on enterprise level, $400 in 6 months $8000 in 2 years.

    There should be no threats to families of CEOs who announce huge job cuts.

    There should be removal of the CEOs’ lives.

    Because it is relevant:

    Unemployed individuals are roughly 60% to 87% more likely to die by suicide compared to employed peers, with some studies estimating that up to 1 in 10 global suicides are directly attributable to labor underutilization (job loss or underemployment).

    A study using data from 175 countries between 1991 and 2017 showed that for every 1% increase in unemployment, there was a 2–3% increase in suicide rates in those aged 30–59 years, suggesting that if such an increase in unemployment could be prevented then so would the corresponding increase in suicides.
