Yes, but them spending a lot of company money for a low ROI product while sacking experienced employees will have a detrimental effect on their company’s performance as well. And thus on their own stock value.

Don’t forget SpaceX. I’d say $123 down from the peak of $211 is a pretty dramatic plunge

The algorithms mentioned in the article are quite literally a form of AI.

AI is more than an LLM, you know? But there is also this and this.

Ah, I was thinking more along the lines of emancipation

True, but they also have more options for birth control. And a family needs two working parents to have a children nowadays as well.

That’s a bit of a you problem.

But: a nursing shortage is when there are not enough nurses for the number of sick and needy patients. In other words, hospitals and care facilities throughout the US can’t find enough nursing staff to fill out the positions that they need given the amount of patients that they have, i.e. a nursing shortage.

Saving money with AI and being able to hire more nurses but taking the stupid decision to fire them, doesn’t mean the nursing shortage is manufactured, like you posed. The nursing shortage is still, in fact, very real and a problem of an aging population and not enough people getting into nursing.

Execs being greedy does not prove the shortage isn’t there.

And maybe you will find that sealioning and calling people lazy earns you the title of troll more often. So maybe if you don’t want that try to avoid such behaviour.

You’ve got to be a troll…. This is completely obvious, but in the rare case you’re really not trolling:

Thing 1:

we could hire more nurses with the time and money savings of A.I.

Thing 2:

instead let’s just fire them and make more money.

Question:

Doesn’t this kind of prove that the nursing shortage is manufactured?

Answer: (no), those two things are not mutually exclusive.

Well, you asked only one question

Those two things are not mutually exclusive
