    I think most readers didn’t make it past the first sentence before the outrage got them.

    This poster is a symptom of the bubble. Another bottom feeder looking to jump into the oceans of cash being thrown around to capture a market that doesn’t yet exist.

    No responsible decision-maker would replace employees with AI (it is, at best, a niche tool useful for some professionals, not a replacement). We’re already seeing business failures resulting from this kind of bad decision making.

    It’s like the 2008 mortgage-backed securities crisis. Short-term thinking results in long term consequences.

    In the future, this poster will be looked at like a Lehman Brothers brochure on their new mortgage investment offerings. It’s not a sign of how the world will be in the future, its evidence that even rich people can be idiots at scale.

      I agree with everything you said apart from the last bit. “even rich people can be idiots” implies that they are less likely to be idiots than your average Joe.
