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.

@jargoggles @wdjorth @guyjantic @coolinthegame Millionaires aren't billionaires -- they just like to think they are. Billionaires could easily axe the millionaires who have been in turn their ax men. They just don't want to lose that layer of meat between themselves and the angry horde below (ex. the accessible UHC CEO who died instead of an oligarch who holds a huge chunk of UHC stock in their portfolio).
