Finally, a diversity strategy that pleases HR and slashes payroll, what’s not to love?

Why invest in hiring and promoting real women when you can roll out a thousand polite assistants named “Sophie” who never ask for parental leave or equity? Add a gendered voice, update the dashboard, and voilà: gender parity, disruption-style.

This is the kind of innovation that turns DEI into an API call. Efficient, scalable and completely empty.

Can’t wait for the next step—closing the gender pay gap by not paying anyone at all.

I heard US jobs were up*, hadn't realised this was how.

* 500 Million New Jobs Added to US Economy, After Trump Fires Statistics Chief

  Other metrics for the US economy were also impressive.

  GDP growth was recorded at a healthy 47% – coincidentally mirroring Trump’s Presidential number – while inflation dropped to zero.

  Worldwide, only North Korea had better economic data for the month of July.
