     @fast_code_r_us @chris AI is so to appealing to them because it replaces chair warmers with slaves that can be eliminated without complaint. Wait until the shareholders find out they can replace the executives.

     @chris "Right to work" = "employees are head-count / chair-warmers"
     Since interest rates rose about 18 months ago, big tech companies have had a convenient excuse to lay off 1000's even though they can easily afford to double the number of employees on payroll. "Shareholder perceived value" and "CEO compensation" are much more important to them these days.
