[14:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	What is the main purpose in corporate America of a company listed on the Stock Exchange.
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	Answer :- To provide maximum value for shareholders. This means as high profits as possible,
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	Therefore if AI is cheaper than people resources, and AI can be used instead of people (does not matter how bad the results are), and by using it will potentially improve profits and reduce costs to the business. Then it does not matter if its Real or Excuse,
[14:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	In some cases it improves, but in most cases its an excuse. And you see more and more jobs lost to AI (drones, robots in manufactoring factories etc), once companies can no longer outsource or full roles with lower cost people

[14:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	I have received a low performance email right after I told my manager that will be going to maternity leave.

[14:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Exactly right. The analysis in the article is quite limiting, as you said, it doesn't understand that skilled workers were laid off, and it doesn't understand that you can cap the measure to companies of. a certain size.
[14:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	I found the analysis quite "shallow" and not quite informed or thought out.

[14:20]	schestowitz[TR2]	Good points but they have laid off so many good workers in the US in the past few years to move jobs to India those skills could easily be hired back. Especially for bigger companies. Maybe they should say revenue over $1B to not effect smaller companies.
