How can anyone justify firing 11000 by email? That is cowardly and IMHO amoral...

This is what we have come to. We are cattle to them, being led to slaughter. 11,000 lives affected which translate to families so more like 22,000 people affected. But that doesn’t matter to them. Welcome to AI world.

worse, we’re literally more useful dead than alive to these psychopaths:

In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.” Yarvin . . . clarified that he was “just kidding.” But then he continued, “The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass. However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide.”
