Comment on Shopify Employee Breaks NDA To Reveal Firm Quietly Replacing Laid Off Workers With AI

I really hope the paradigm shift happens soon. If it only takes a few devs to make a company run like this, there is no reason for the devs to work for these companies that churn them for imbecilic investors. The real “unnecessary overhead” is all of corporate America. We are a society of ship captains too stupid to realize they are piloting canoes.

Take possession of that state house, that ground is yours. (Someone interrupted, and the speaker said “Shut your mouth.”) You built that state house, didn’t you? You pay the public officials, don’t you? You paid for that ground, didn’t you? (Cries of: “Yes,” “yes.”) Then, who does it belong to? Then why did the militia chase you off? You have been hypnotized. The trouble has been that they wanted the slave system to continue. They have had a glass for you and your wives and children to look into.
