sanitation'At some point you've got to make money': Goldman's top AI skeptic warns the clock is running out ahead of OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs
HondProbably the least controversial take on the threadiverse but i stumpled upon Ed Zitrons Blog like maybe two years ago. I’ve read a few posts of him since then and i just watch the shitshow unfold tbh. Its not that i 100% believe in his predictions. But he has made his point. I’m just an average fuck. I dont know shit. But it was so far the most believable and backed up assessment of the current AI situation.
I make barely enough money to afford my rent in bumfuck europe. How the fuck am i more informed about AI then some CEO? WTF.
- replacing human workers is their fondest dream so they want to believe so hard
- they have FOMO "everyone else is doing it and I don’t want to lose out"
- everyone else is doing it and if they didn’t do it and were wrong, it would be worse for their reputation than following the pack and being wrong
- c suite types talk to each other and they’ve formed an echo chamber
In summary, CEOs (of large public companies anyway - your mom and pop plumber could also be a CEO) are not smarter than the average person. Just more amoral and having the connections to be CEOs
It’s not that you’re more informed. It’s simply that you have to worry about consequences of mismanaging money where a CEO… well, hasn’t.
