It's Not a Hypothetical, I've Already Lost My Job to AI For The Last Year

Videos which I would upload patiently from the supermarket seating area, having canceled my home internet service the week I was fired in a bid to save every dollar possible in order to not lose my house and everything I've built. Their signup systems were incompatible with my full, legal, one-letter last name, and it took about 50 hours on the phone with doordash support in Malaysia and the background check provider in India to eventually get cleared to drive them.
