minus-squareDigDoug@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·3 天前That’s the point. They knew who they wanted to fire, but this way they can try to hide behind “the AI did it”. And since they’re a gigantic company, I’d wager that defence will be successful.
minus-squareLillyPip@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·3 天前I think it’s simpler than that. They believed their own AI PR bullshit, huffed their own farts, and management thought they could get paid more to do less, offloading decisions. Don’t ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

minus-squareprole@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 天前Yeah, but they’ll need a court to rule on that, and these days it’s not as clear cut as it should be. They lose, they get a slap on the wrist and a fine that is the equivalent of pocket change. They win, and they set a precedent that this shit is ok.
