Tl;dr summary: Company lowered the wage of an employee after reassigning him to do lesser work as AI took over parts of his job, employee refuses to accept this, company fires him, court rules this was against the law from the moment the wage was lowered

Yes, it's China. Yes, China has a lot of issues. Yes, companies will try their best to find other ways to get rid of employees. But this still is finally a W in regards to AI BS.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
