First they came for the artists, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real creativity.
Then they came for the engineers, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real reasoning.
Then they came for the sales folks, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real human connection.
Then they came for the executives and politicians, and I did not speak out—because that job doesn't require real leadership.
Then they came for me, and I did not speak out—because I was just grateful to have any job at all, even one doing manual labor under the ceaseless watch of glorified chatbot. At least Netflix can create any movie that I or my AI girlfriend ask for, so that's cool I guess.

- borissk 3y agoThe progress in IT have already made unemployed millions of people. E.g. there used to be shops selling flights and holidays on every corner. There used to be a number of insurance shops in every town center. Every company used to have rooms full of typewriters and typists. After the software developers made a lot of jobs obsolete, their own job is being made obsolete by the data scientists.
