"When you have a boss for an app, your real boss gets an accountability sink, a convenient scapegoat that can be blamed for your misery.
The fact that this makes you worse at your job, that it loses your boss money, is no guarantee that you will be spared. Rich people make great marks, and they can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. Markets won't solve this one – but worker power can..." - @pluralistic

Are we replacing bosses with apps while keeping the bosses? When employees get replaced by tech, they get fired. Let's at least also do the same with bosses.
@mcv @pluralistic Oh, but they're somehow still valuable even though an app does their job - who was the asshole CEO who said something like "with AI you'll be on a beach while a machine does your job for you", clearly meaning that's what HE would do, not his employees...
