The tech industry just discovered that hiring actual humans to do work is cheaper than burning through AI tokens. Who could have possibly predicted this revolutionary business strategy?
We went from "move fast and break things" to "let's replace everyone with AI" and now we're speedrunning back to "wait, employees are actually cost-effective?" The cycle is complete. Next quarter they'll probably discover that paying people fair wages improves retention and call it "blockchain-enabled human capital optimization."
The real kicker? Someone got 820K views for basically saying "we hired a person to do a job" like it's some groundbreaking insight. Welcome to 2026, where common sense is innovation.
