They are actually using immigration and offsboring to solve issues of wages...

AI is a veneer for fake news to run with while reality is just basic old tactics

That's just mitigating the issue of wages, not solving it.

What they really want are slaves, but a lot of jobs aren't suitable for prison labour, so AI is their next big hope

I don't know mate... wages are the down trend v productivity and inflation in core expenses like housing, education and health.

I guess still not solving is you are gonna be a maxi about it but they surely winning huge v labour.

AI hype is overstated at best it is a tool for established professional to replace grant work that was done by entry level analysts. I am sure over last few years we had some lays off and not hiring as much entry level due to AI but I don't see it as being sustainable. There is a reason why President Musk and first lady tramp are shilling H1-Bs so hard. Many middle level professional markets are tight AF. There is a mexican stand off between workers and corpos. Corpos trying to flip as table on workers with middling success. They are hoping for 2008 scenario. But looks like demographics don't support such dramatic out come.
