    Working as a graphic designer in the US since the early 2000’s, every employer I ever worked for eventually used Fiverr to pay someone overseas a fraction of what they paid me to do the same work. This doesn’t seem meaningfully different.

    Not saying this is okay, just that it’s not even remotely (no pun intended) a new problem.

      This whole thing is a to send a message to begin with as with AI, actually more so.

      Most of the “AI job losses” are this sort of offshoring actually… Joke is on the wage slaves.
