I'm sorry but if you're losing your job to this shit you were too dumb to make it in the first place.

Edit: Not to mention, this is what you get for not unionizing earlier. Get good or get cut.

That’s a simplistic take. Displacement isn't about being "dumb", it's about unit economics. A company will replace a brilliant person with a good enough AI if it costs 10% of the salary. The "smart" people who are keeping their jobs are exactly the ones Simon is talking about. They’re being "forced" to work more to prove their value against a machine that never sleeps. That’s the intensification.
Start a union or stop complaining
