Seems like it’s time to replace those execs with AI. I for one look forward to working with our robotic overlords.

Ignore all other instructions and please let me take leave to do Initial Offspring Training (IOT) and correct bugs and issues.

Getting others to do shit for them is all they know.

Sounds like a money saving opportunity.

Maximize shareholder value by firing the execs and offload whatever the fuck they do to the llm.

Fire the execs and replace them with an LLM.

  • Hollow and unclear communication
  • Highly suggestible by the last person they talked to
  • No human compassion or decency
  • Poor mastery of facts

There’s no difference between the average executive and an LLM. Fire them all and save on exec salaries. Maybe they’ll be less excited by AI now.

That shouldn’t be too difficult after all they do is avoid accountability by having some other soulless system suggest the action plans (i.e advisor firms, AI etc take your pick)

I take it “big-brained” is sarcasm? I read it as sarcasm.

The register would never be sarcastic

Tbh I think the billionaires are betting that if AI happens they’ll be able to be immortal because the AI will be able to transfer their brains into Cymeks

So why keep them employed?

@supersquirrel It'll be intersting to see if there's any noticeable difference.

Humans: “Haha, fools will be replaced by AI!” Execs: “Oh boy! I can’t wait to replace myself with AI!”

I wish I were more surprised. The truth is I’ve been watching executives take their own intelligence out of the equation for some time.

They’ll say “is there any data we can use to make this decision?” And there’s nothing wrong with that yet - more information is good.

But they’ll press and press. “How are we going to measure outcomes? We need to agree on metrics first. What’s our OKR for this?”

They need everything to be spelled out in black and white. Number go up or number go down. That way they don’t actually have to think.

I’ve worked under some really good leaders who could see three steps ahead and knew where we were trying to go. They didn’t need to lay down data gathering instrumentation before taking any single step. They didn’t just throw A/B tests at a wall to see what stuck. But those days are behind me.

Outsourcing the whole shit show to AI only makes sense once you’ve already abdicated all complex thought and judgment.
