AI Didn’t Just Take Jobs — It Took the Point of Having workers at All.”
The machines aren’t coming for your job — they’ve already taken your boss’s loyalty. What if the real story isn’t job loss, but the quiet death of human worth in corporate math?
The future we feared is here — and it’s wearing an amazon badge.
In what may be remembered as the moment capitalism officially divorced humanity, major corporations are openly celebrating how fewer people mean more profit. Amazon’s announcement of 14,000 job cuts isn’t an isolated event; it’s a declaration of a new economic religion — AI capitalism — where code is sacred and humans are redundant.
Across industries once thought “too human to automate,” pink slips are being printed faster than paychecks. UPS axed 48,000 workers. Intel: 24,000. Nestlé: 16,000. Ford: 11,000. Salesforce, Target, Meta — the list reads like an obituary of the middle class.
The corporate spin? “Productivity gains.”
Translation: Machines don’t demand healthcare, weekends, or dignity.
It’s a chilling reversal of progress. For decades, technology was sold as the great liberator — a force that would make humans more creative, more valuable. Instead, AI is proving to be the great replacer — not because it’s smarter, but because it’s cheaper.
The chart from Opening Bell Daily paints a quiet horror: productivity has surged, but job openings have flatlined. The economy is expanding without people in it.
The irony? The very technology built on human intelligence is now being used to erase the need for it.
This isn’t just about layoffs; it’s about a moral pivot. The question is no longer, “How can we make humans more efficient?” but “Why keep them at all?”
As executives toast to “leaner operations,” millions face a leaner life — stripped of income, stability, and meaning. The AI revolution isn’t replacing workers; it’s rewriting the social contract itself.
And in that quiet line of code where a job used to be, one can almost hear the echo:
Humans were great while they lasted.
