This is prime HR style lying. The response is: Problem statement. Claim that reality is the opposite of the problem statement, with no justification given, despite obvious evidence to the contrary. Statement that if reality doesn't match their claim, the worker is at fault. End of statement.

Dystopian, infuriating, unethical and immoral.

> While some worry AI will dehumanize the hiring process, we believe the opposite.

Look at the language Coinbase uses. Only their view is a "belief." The opposing view is a "worry." Others are motivated by fear. Only holy Coinbase is motivated by love!

This is, of course, doublethink. We all know that removing humans from the hiring process is, by definition, dehumanizing.

Coinbase's article would have been more palatable if it were truthful:

> Some believe AI will dehumanize the hiring process. We agree, and we're SO excited about that! I mean, we aren't in this business to make friends. We're in it to make cold, hard cash. And the less we have to interact with boring, messy human beings along the way, the better! If you're cold, calculating and transactional like us, sign on the dotted line, and let's make some dough!

But if they were that truthful, fun, and straightforward, they'd probably be more social, and they wouldn't have this dehumanizing hiring process to begin with.

Companies shouldn't be making business decisions based on "belief" or "worry." Show the research that demonstrates which one is actually true.

Why would you expect them to show you the research? They have no reason. to do so and probably believe you’ll find it distasteful if they did

The fact that a communist dictatorship declares itself to be a benevolent people's paradise, doesn't change the brutal reality one bit. And unlike living under a communist dictatorship, we don't have to accept it. I will strongly vote for those who make this shit illegal.
