When iHeartMedia announced this month it would fire hundreds of workers across the country, the radio conglomerate said the restructuring was critical to take advantage of its “significant investments … in technology and artificial intelligence.” In a companywide email, chief executive Bob Pittman said the “employee dislocation” was “the unfortunate price we pay to modernize the company.”
Drew Harwell. Washington Post.
It ain't the immigrants that take our jobs, I know quite well;
it's automated robots that make bread lines start to swell.
Dislocated workers find their jobs done by A.I.
Algorithm dj's and then cyborg pizza pie!
Factories and offices will quiet soon become;
automatons accomplish more, and never even hum.
Doctors, and then lawyers, and professors by the score,
will soon be clerking at the counters of the Dollar Store.
Have a microchip into your brain pan deeply twined --
then a steady job you will most positively find!
