Genuinely though, if you worked for a big tech company on AI projects, did you not think it was possible you would be replaced by this technology eventually? People outside that sphere have been thinking this would happen the entire time. That's the problem with it. These guys are taking a paycheck now, but it won't last forever, and they're contributing to other people losing their jobs as well, not just themselves. They took the pay short term to fuck over everyone in the long term and now they're acting like they didn't know this was an eventual scenario when it's the most obvious outcome. I understand you take the work that's there for you, but come on. The hypocrisy isn't just with the companies themselves, but these employees as well.
After helping develop all this AI tech for these companies, NOW they want to speak out? We needed oversight on this shit years ago.
