    Exactly this. Our oppressors seek to create as much distance between themselves and us, and middleman management-type positions have become incompatible with this model.

    Imagine every business entity being ‘run’ by AI that will be sold to us as ‘separate entities’ of whom are actually owned and (barely) controlled by less than a handful of individuals masked behind LLCs. Added bonus that AI does not need to get paid and is a handy tool to absorb accountability. Just one more update, guys! Idk about that raise, because all I can do is ask the corporate chatbot. I didn’t get bereavement time approved either because the corporate chatbot counts it as sick time and apparently I’ve already used mine without being notified.

    This is exactly what capitalism gives us: the illusion of choice and this fits right into it.
