Machine States: Smash the Billboards – The Era of AI Employees Gets Its Feedback

reporting from the streets of Megacity, where the future of work just got its teeth kicked in. This ad—right here—stood tall on city corners, proudly declaring: ‘Artisans Won’t Complain About Work-Life Balance.’ It’s a sleek pitch for AI employees, a machine workforce that doesn’t talk back, or get sick. Sounds efficient, right? Yeah, except no one thought about the people watching it…

Let’s paint the scene. The ad: a cold, smiling AI face staring out from a bus stop. The slogan? A slap in the face to everyone sitting jobless, sleeping rough, or scraping by while the Machine sells “streamlining” as a virtue. And the feedback?

Broken glass, ripped posters, and a clear message: Not cute you dipshit marketers.

It’s hard to blame them. Cities are overflowing with people being replaced—not just by robots on assembly lines, but by algorithms that optimize them right out of a paycheck. And then there’s Klarna’s CEO, stepping up to brag that AI has replaced hiring entirely. The same Klarna that still advertises job openings for humans. Their stance? ‘Oh, the positions are open, but we’re not hiring.’ Make it make sense.

I’ve got to hand it to Artisan Co.—they’re really nailing that whole ‘bold vision’ thing. A world where humans and AI work together in symbiosis? Sure. Except their about page has no actual humans on it. Zero faces. Zero names. Just corporate vaporware wrapped in big fonts and buzzwords.

So yeah, Artisan’s about page might talk big about pushing humanity forward. But let’s call it what it is: a future where humans are optional. If that’s their vision, no wonder someone smashed their billboard.

This is Jade with Machine States. Symbiosis? Get bent.”

This billboard is more than just an ad; it’s a symbol of where we are in 12-15-24 , as for the glass they’re not smashing glass for fun; they’re smashing it because this crass, tone-deaf pitch cuts deeper than just lost jobs. It’s a reminder that people are becoming joked on.

So, here’s the real headline. The future these companies are so proud of? It’s got cracks already—literally. The people they’re so quick to leave behind aren’t leaving quietly.

And here’s the kicker: if you’re going to tout a future where humans and machines coexist, maybe try including one human on the page where you talk about it. Otherwise, it’s just empty promises—a glossy front for a Machine that doesn’t even have the guts to show its face
