The last industrial revolution turned farmers into factory drones. This one will turn tech workers into homeless gig slaves.
Not just tech workers, more like most knowledge work. Hopefully CEO’s realize that they are the first to be replaced.
Yeah it also turned them into homeless slaves last time, factory drones just couldn't see them because they were far away.
Nonsense. It turned farmers into corpses and migrants into factory drones and more migrants into more farmers.
