      No, like the article said: “it’s not as if the current industry problems are unprecedented, or came out of nowhere. Since the advent of modern capitalism (and likely a long while before that), those in charge have often misunderstood, underestimated, or dismissed the hard work that goes into labour they don’t understand.”

      This and a tendency to abuse workers have always existed. Management isn’t the victim here, the AI has just removed the limiter, such as it was.
