What I thought the article was going to be about, assuming it was clickbait: Tech Executives losing their jobs after losing their company’s money on AI, or Tech Executives realizing that it’s their jobs that could most easily be replaced by AI.
What the article was actually about: Literally murder threats and firebombing their houses and that sort of thing.
I have no comment beyond being surprised that the headline was literal.
This shouldn’t come as any surprise. Unions came about to negotiate over reasonable terms for work because people started to burn down mansions of factory owners, with or without the guy’s family inside. Or just cyberpunk 2077 where chapter 1 shows all the nice tech and then some folks nuke the corporate headquarter and kidnap corporate techs. I mean that’s a serious hint.
