I don't think this is wise at all.

Its just people putting into words their wish to be able to punish and appoint blame above their wishes to be pragmatic.

If software is better at something, there is no reason to be mad at that software.

More than that, the idea that the software vendor could not be held liable is farcical. Of course they could be, or the company running said software. In fact, they'd probably get more shit than managers who regularly get away with ridiculous shit.

I mean wage theft is the biggest form of theft for a reason, and none of the wage thieves are machines (or at least most aren't).

Almost everything you said here is wrong. Much of it dangerously so.

I like the part where you have no details or arguments, just vibes.

You don't reason someone out of a position they didnt reason themselves into, and I cannot figure out how to come to conclusions that incorrect. Just leaving a warning; my reply wasn't for you.

You're right about wage theft being common. So that's something.

This is pure pseudo intellectualism because you literally have no argument or point.

You have no reasoning and are projecting that onto me because you can't explain this opinion your feelings have brought you to.

I'm not willing to argue with you. I've argued this with you¹ a thousand times, you are not rational. Everyone who reads your shit knows what I'm talking about. Ask them.

¹perhaps with a different name and face, but otherwise indistinguishable. It gets tedious.
