Raw LLM Responses

Yes, but you’re overcomplicating it - all publicly traded companies are incentivized to bring the highest EPS possible, no matter how they get there. Most companies these days have guaranteed increases by cutting labor, because labor is a variable cost and it has been shown that even if you only get 75% of the results from (for example) AI or other technologies, you’re saving more on labor than you’re giving up in profit, so the math works out for the stock price. Capitalism doesn’t care about humans, or at least none that don’t sit on the board of directors. And as long as labor is fighting against each other for jobs, it’s just a race to the bottom for workers.
