1. The nanosecond that they "give back time to the workers" will be ice harvesting day in hell.

ANY millisecond of work not being done by humans will be paid at $0.00/hr..
ANY jobs that lose the majority of their functions will be cut.

These clowns believe that if they cut ALL costs to the bare minimum that magically people will STILL be available to buy their goods and services and be happy about it. The fundamental misunderstanding of supply AND demand is utterly astounding. Most of these tech-bro CEOs and their cheerleaders in the crypto scam universe could not pass macro or microeconomics or knows anything at all about accounting - they are just 100% sure that AI and algorithms will handle all of that, and that AI customer service will handle those (non-existent and annoying) customers, and that AI au pairs will raise their children while AI gigolos keep their AI wives out of their AI sculped hair.

The mania is right in front of everyone's face - no more or less than Tulip bulbs in the past, or dotcoms or Enron or NINJA loans or too big to fail. It just goes on and on and on and the poor people are the ones hurt because in this game of musical chairs, they are not even allowed to listen to the music, let alone scramble for a seat...
