we should probably be focusing on the companies that are so quick to abandon their workers on the promise of saving a few bucks
You mean every company? I never worked for a company that did or would have done anything different.

For all the focus on Scam Altman, we should probably be focusing on the companies that are so quick to abandon their workers on the promise of saving a few bucks.

And do what? This is only happening now because we’re in a fascist economic system. Companies are overwhelmingly monopolies, and when they fail they get bailed out.

Not buy their products. Drag them on social media. Give interest to news stories about the product’s users, not the figurehead of one of the vendors, so the news media focuses on them rather than the distraction. Reach out to your politicians and your friends to discuss how product failures are the result of the company embracing AI and don’t forget to highlight the greed that brought us to this fascist economic system. Use, donate to, or even offer your skills to non-LLM FOSS alternatives. Spend your dollars on companies with scruples. Build your own home lab, give up on all technology, get really into self-sufficiency, and go live in the woods to escape the whole system.
I don’t know… something other than giving in. Literally anything other than that.

The only way to fix capitalist culture is to abandon it for something better.
