We forced ourselves onto you after you repeatedly said no. Why are you so upset? Look how many jobs we replaced!

Edit: This cross-post about AI potentially replacing almost 12% of jobs off the bat seems relevant.

I swear every current problem from dumb shit head decisions has got to be because all of these things are being run by dumb shit head nepo babies now. They get this shit handed to them and they’re too fucking stupid to do anything right or they just legitimately don’t care and are just trying to make themselves as much money as they can get away with before everything collapses below them.

Either that or tech bros really are just all this fucking dumb.

This one. In addition to their greed, publically-traded corporations are stautorily required to maximize profits for the shareholder. So, if there's a thing that will replace workers for less than it costs to have workers, they will do that thing.
