Thread regarding Humana Inc. layoffs

Perspective Coming from a “forced” Retired Data & Process Engineer

I think C-Suite Executives consider replacing engineers with AI as being the equivalent of replacing humana cashiers with automated checkouts.

Well, all of you engineers know that the good ones know how to not just how to handle the “normal” mold fit scenarios but also how to handle scenarios that do not fit the mold and find innovative ways to come up with solutions that most others, including AI, would.

From what I have seen, AI even struggles handling the most basic tasks and processes without an abundance of handling by their human creators. So, as to the non-conforming mold fit processes, forget about it!

Why am I posting this? Because I am so sick of all the AI hype being shouted on the roof tops. Please, can we now start having real honest conversations as to the very limited scenarios for which AI maybe can be used?

Agree. A lot of very short-sighted removal of excellent engineers as well as excellent nurses and other roles have been removed.

Executives are not inherently special as people often mistake. They are a cookie cutter role of Ivy League brats. The main ingredient was their parent’s money and their parent’s network, which by the way was also passed down to the parents, from their parents. It is what generational wealth buys.

Anyway, point is, these same executives do not really care if their decisions are short-sighted and do not care how it adversely effects people’s lives. They are in it for their own wealth and the wealth of their friends and to build up their own generation’s network, which they will then eventually pass down to their bratty children, which will become future Ivy League graduates and future executives.
