    The only reason I advocate in favor of graffitiing this ad is because it might be construed as illegal to advocate for violence against any particular individuals or organizations

    On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business “elite”, fire everybody whose job you don’t understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn’t work out.

      Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor’s legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company’s confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

      Savings!

    Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don’t know what to do with their time if they’re not in meetings all day.

      My company sometimes we just have meetings for fun.

      Like next week, ive got a meeting scheduled with my my friend, whos our marketing and sales lead, not because theres anything work related that we couldnt handle with phone or email, but just because weve both been super busy outside of work, and haven’t had a chance to hang in a couple months.

      So weve scheduled a 2 hour meeting for Wednesday end of day, and we’ll grab drinks, go over the sales permitting and builds for the next month, and catch up.

    That’s illegal in China now/soon. Replacing workers with AI to do exactly the same job is just fucked. Engineering or Automating the task so the roles are no longer needed is a different story. It would be like instead of inventing refrigeration we invented humanoid robots to collect the ice to replace the workers.

    Steve isn’t coming because he’s suffering a psychotic breakdown from overwork exhaustion, and Steve is responsible enough to know when he’s hallucinating.

    Ava hallucinates even more and even when she knows she does do it frequently, still presents everything as 100% reliable facts.

        As soon as they automate labour and violence, they won’t need the proletariat at all.

        And given how much they’ve cared for us historically, I think this should be raising much more concerns.

          A lot of people with no money, shelter, or food with lots of time on their hands should scare them more.

            Should, but doesn’t, because everyone is apathic as fuck and the rich have got private security and labour for them.

            And lots of people just don’t understand which side they’re on.

    Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don’t exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.

    It’s as if they think the purpose of work is just to be as busy as possible and not to support people’s lives.

    Replacing Steve because he had a bad day feels less like innovation and more like dystopia with a marketing budget.

    "Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don’t even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

    I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

    Just paint over it, in a solid color of your choice. Graffiti might inadvertently highlight it. Just make it disappear.
