I'm not concerned about robot overlords exterminating mankind in the future, but I do believe that artificial intelligence has created a sort of soft tyranny here and...

The destruction of all jobs performed by humans is an economic fallacy. Automation is sought after to reduce costs in search for higher margins. Automation cannot...

I'm with you on this one. That and the fact it forces people to do client side reporting that's not optimized and developed to be reused for team usage...
