...why gut the 401K and benefits? This doesnt make sense if AI is saving time/money and there are record profits. Furthermore if the luddites are already being laid off and replaced then there should already be cost savings on payroll. What could possibly be the reason behind needing to raid benefits and retirement?https://www.businessinsider.com/ttec-pauses-401k-contributions-benefit-cuts-consulting-deloitte-zoom-2026-5
>>108810750We're still at the investment stage with no hope of ever making a profit. Tech jobs and now benefits are cut so the rest of the accounting looks somewhat can look okay.
>>108810789Thats actually insane, though. There's clearly a point where it makes more sense to just take the short term L and pivot on strategy. This is actual crackhead ripping copper wire out of the walls behavior.And I dont mean that as a low tier wagie perspective, either. The obvious next step if this continues is going to be execs, HR, and managers cannibalizing each other to keep the accounting working on their ghost ship with no ROI. And its going to keep getting progressively worse as more and more agents need to be indefinitely tard wrangled and subsidized in place of replaced staff. There's no path to victory unless you have actually have a profitable product from the start and/or can turn a profit from every prompt at scale.
IT'S THE FISH HAT AGAIN!
we think that whatever it is that you're talking about SUCKS
>>108810913>This is actual crackhead ripping copper wire out of the walls behavior.haha yeahthey're crashing this plane with no survivors
>>108810750Paywall...
>>108810750why wouldn't you cut the benefits if the wagie has no more bargaining power? ok if don't like being a minimum wage wagecuck, they can just hire a jeet and give him ai. the system cares only about itself.
>>108810913the system has its own will. if you thought the system cannot replace all the humans with machines and keep going, boy do i have news for you. we were never in control.

Retirement accounts are gonna get raped by xAI later this year, they're doing you a solid.
>>108810750So they kill themselves so I can have a nice quiet life.
401k are a scam anyway. This is financial advice.
>>108810750Capitalism is a Paperclip Optimizer, but for shareholder profits instead of paperclips. Anything positive Capitalism appears to achieve is incidental to generating profit for shareholders.
>>108810750I don't get 401K and benefits so no one else should, if I'm not getting any then I don't see why anyone else should, I am the king emperor of the crab in a bucket.
>>108815570Because you live in a society and you need those other people to do stuff you cant do.
