The Country Kept Pulling the Lever

Americans are using the machine more and trusting it less. That is not a contradiction. That is a bad job with a smiling kiosk.

The Soup Got a Promotion

Companies fed the office to the machine and got soup back. Now the workers have to taste every spoonful for broken glass.

The men who once sold AI as a job-killing thunderstorm now sell it as a labor shortage. Funny how the weather changes when the IPO roadshow needs sunshine.
