Another take on AI that (at least for now) kinda nails it.
@guyjantic @coolinthegame Not only the middle managers are unconscious. Also the senior managers are unconscious. The executive managers are also only conscious to the extent of being self serving.

@wdjorth @guyjantic @coolinthegame Why shareholders don't demand replacing the most expensive tiers of corporate management with AI I will never know, especially since most are simply regurgitating the same trite crap they acquired from B-school curriculum.

Amazing how uppermost management is the layer most unaffected by AI implementation.

@femme_mal @wdjorth @coolinthegame
Right? I suspect it's similar to the reasons they didn't demand middle/upper management get outsourced to India, replaced by interns, efficiency'd, etc. as all of those would make a lot of sense in many cases and save the company significant cash. But they never seem to do that.
@guyjantic I've always figured that there's a type of senior manager who needs his middle managers as insulation, not as delegation. You don't want them to think, you want them to parrot what you told them and take the blame.
@anyGould so you've worked at a US university, then?
@guyjantic Nope, corporate life for me. You get similar here - folks who like to upload praise to them and download blame to the staff (and aiming to get promoted elsewhere before folks get wise.)
