Ai didn't fire you, your boss did.
Brooke Brodack delivers one of her most passionate and pointed commentaries, arguing that when companies lay off workers and blame AI, the real culprit is corporate greed. She makes the case that AI is being used as a shield, a convenient distraction that allows executives to fill their own pockets while good people lose their jobs. Drawing from a personal story about a friend laid off from Uber with nothing more than a "bummer" as explanation, Brooke exposes the callousness behind the trend.
The video goes beyond a simple critique to issue a warning: if technology ever truly overtakes humanity, it will be because of the very executives who prioritized quick profits over their fellow human beings. Brooke calls for putting people over profit and figuring out how to use AI in ways that genuinely benefit all of humanity. She closes with a pointed reminder that what goes around comes around, and those who denied the circle of humanity during this trend may not be welcomed back.
This is Brooke at her most direct and socially conscious, channeling real frustration into a message that resonates with anyone who has felt the impact of corporate layoffs disguised as technological progress.
