Golgafrincham middle managers, commence boarding Ark Fleet Ship B. You're cozy hot tubs await you.

Poetic justice: Those who have been pushing AI most eagerly in the name of their masters with the goal to replace actual workers have now been replaced themselves (not totally, but hey, it's early in the day).

@glitzersachen @rayotron @nyrath Hey, that goes all the way back to the original Twilight Zone, "The Brain Center at Whipple's".

Great reference, hope I get to see it someday.

"There are many bromides applicable here: 'too much of a good thing', 'tiger by the tail', 'as you sow so shall you reap'. The point is that, too often, Man becomes clever instead of becoming wise; he becomes inventive and not thoughtful; and sometimes, as in the case of Mr. Whipple, he can create himself right out of existence. As in tonight's tale of oddness and obsolescence, in the Twilight Zone."
