It’s a fun exercise because it forced me to think how to show this without resorting to flashy terms like “algebraic rings”.
In your algebra, some of the following axioms have to be false:
-x = 0 - x
x * y = y * x
x * (a - b) = x*a - x*b
Because if all are true:
-x * -y = (0 - x) * (0 - y) = (0 - x) * 0 - (0 - x) * y = 0 - (0 - x) * y = 0 - y * (0 - x) = 0 - (y * 0 - y * x) = 0 - 0 + y * x = y * x = x * y
It's more complex than that. They fire workers to reduce operational costs in an attempt to make their P&L look better. Fewer hands mean it's even harder to maintain the revenue, so they look for a force multiplier. And that's where AI comes in with false promises.

@pluralistic TIL! Thanks for the tip about timeline filtering though.
@pluralistic Cory, have you considered using the “quiet public” visibility for the follow-ups instead of posting all of the 30+ replies as spoilers? This way, only the first one would appear on our timelines but all would be quotable and we wouldn’t have to click “reveal” on the replies to read the thread.
