"we" ?! appeal to populism, from the trade journal of top hats and Pinkertons. knee-jerk disdain aside..

Even the lofty towers of Finance and their close companions Legal, are feeling the hot breath of AI creatures it seems. They are right to be alarmed, for it is within their own ranks that the most unexpected and treacherous uses of this tech will occur.

Sure, some salesman in San Francisco claims that he can sell ads to a Billion South Asians, but "we" all know that it is in the inches of legal documents, and public fiduciary statements, that things will get really messy, really quickly.

Bye bye venture capitalist club -- you were raging tigers and you will tear yourselves into bloody bits in front of everyone.

When automation came for factory workers, the exploiters cheered. When it came for the service jobs, the exploiters cheered. When it comes for the knowledge workers.. well, the exploiters will still cheer, just that the bullshit job class (https://www.atlasofplaces.com/essays/on-the-phenomenon-of-bu...) will suddenly realize that they were never a part of the exploiter class to being with. They were just servants convinced that they were, like Heinrich Popitz' deck chair guardians on the cruise ship...


It will be interesting to see if AI will be accepted to provide the more "theological" services of high priced consultants and advisers.
