I really hope AI ends up replacing CEOs and upper management.

    I appreciate the sentiment (Fuck CEOs) but find the idea of taking orders from an AI that is also in charge of steering the direction of the company devastatingly horrific.

    One thing that academic (not for profit) ai researchers understand is that computers cannot make management decisions, as a computer cannot take responsibility when things go wrong the way a person can. This is already an issue for traffic violations for “self driving” cars piloted by foreign labor overseas.

    Why? The AI would be a step up from the avg CEO. I mean, it’s a low looooow bar, but incremental progress is still progress

    imma throw in this is a joke, cause I know someone isn’t gonna take it that way

    Hope you like making paperclips while Clippy watches you and ratchets up your productivity expectations, buddy.

    also a joke, but an AI with surveillance capabilities has the potential to be a really annoying boss. See Amazon drivers that aren't allowed to wipe their brow while they drive or take a pee break

    I've already made a rule. I am not going to work any job that tells me when I can pee, or that I'm not going fast enough.

    If all of you would do the same, they wouldn't be able to demand that of you either.

    See, what we should all do, is just stop buying ANYTHING.

    Watch the shares of every single company collapse. Watch the great depression 2 start for the rich.

    Because lets be real, for the average working man and woman, we've been in a depression that gets worse and worse as time goes on since the 80s. Now lets let it affect the rich too.

    Sure, but this feels like a baseless, distraction of a characterization here.

    No. The common denominator between the average CEO and the average sexual offender is an all-encompassing sense of entitlement: I should have what I want, and you need to give it to me, and if I have to wrest it from you in ways that are harmful to you, well that's okay too. And it's not just those two groups, it's anyone who regularly relies on coercion and abuse to get what they want, right down to what happens in the home where domestic violence is the problem.

    As our president himself has proven beyond all doubt, in countless acts of power combined with the sexual misuse of others, from children to E. Jean Carroll, the jump from CEO to sexual offender is really NOT the impossible intellectual leap you seem to think it is, nor is it unfitting in this context.

    Management, maybe. CEO's probably no. The dream of the CEO is to eventually create the single proprietor company with a trillion-dollar market cap. No employees. No management. Just an owner and a machine that manufactures profit that he'll never have to share with anyone.
