CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

You reach an age where you start pregaming some Imodium before going out to eat. Which tells you that all of the fun in life is already over. The rest is just trying not to die or shit yourself.

@MJMcKean Used to often have to 86 the shrimp. Mainly because I hated peeling shrimp.

I've long thought that we should bring back the pillory as a punishment, and... look at how much fun they're having!

Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed.
