        It’s funny you mentioned that…we just switched to Workday at my job about a month ago. So far, nothing works properly. Everyone’s hours have all been wrong, and no one can figure out why the system keeps fucking things up. It’s actually pretty hilarious. You feed it simple, basic data…and it spits out garbage.

      I think AI lets them wash their hands and play dumb.

      Its ok to lay someone off for taking leave, so long as you didn’t lay them off for taking leave 😉

      That’s the thing with AI. It’s being used where it doesn’t need to be used so corporate execs can justify investment in it to shareholders.

        Eh, AI is just the scapegoat for capitalism. A socialist society would use AI far more productively than to maximize profits and minimizr costs
