    Oh. Their job is harder to replace than some paltry programmer, who just copies code from SO anyway.

      Yes, their knowledge is locked behind the iron gates of ivy laden stone walls. Bestowed upon only for those whose Daddy’s could afford to unlock it. Mere intelligence, artificial or otherwise, simply couldn’t comprehend the 200x worker value they provide.

    Same reason religions demand you tithe but refuse to pay taxes, even though they don’t deny Christ said, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and render unto God what is God’s,” which is to say, fulfil your obligations to the government before fulfilling your obligations to God.

        I remember people talking about DAO during the crypto hype. That’s quite curious that techbros didn’t try to revive the concept with gen ai

          The crypto bro’s whole premise is that other people’s computers are untrustworthy - the whole concept of a blockchain is that when someone declares a transaction, the other network members all verify its legitimacy by (at least) a simple majority.

          They’re not going to just let Sam Altman or Elon Musk pilot their DAO. That’s someone else’s computer running the show!

    It’s not that good.

    Much of a CEO’s role is schmoozing with other rich assholes. AI can’t do that. Maybe once it can buy hookers and blow.

    One of the weird things about ceos, in USA at least, is that one of their roles is to be the fall guy for the board if things go badly. If they screw up badly enough, it’s expected that they’ll find it hard to be hired as CEO elsewhere, which they use to justify outsize compensation plans. I’m not sure AI would fulfill that role, nor the schmoozing aspects

      I’m my experience it’s pretty uncommon for a CEO to struggle finding a new position no matter what transpired at their previous company. Golden parachutes and failing upwards are way more common

    Because it’s not that good.

    AI is an excuse. AI is an excuse to: reduce staff, hoard resources, sustain dependency on a rental economy, stifle creatives (who might have subversive messages!), surveil the world quickly by summarizing huge amounts of cloud stored files, create false evidence, cast doubt on real evidence, fleece investors, and finally, convince everyone you’re “the NEXT Bill Gates/tech messiah”

    Why couldn’t these fuckers just sink their money into fusion instead? We need that way more badly.

      I don’t thing the world is so homogeneous that your take is applicable across the board but the overall trend clearly relates to « let’s reduce our human capital ». And a lot of opportunistic small / medium players trying to capitalise on it. With a sprinkle of conviction driven exec borderline on religious fanatisme.

    Lots of people are saying that AI isn’t that good, and that’s absolutely true.

    To your question though, AI has been doing better at running companies than CEOs.

    Who would’ve thought that the machine that’s great at making shit up and running with it would be good at the “job” of people that make shit up and run with it.

    While AI is not good, people seem to have forgotten the fact that CEOs are also not good…and are complete idiots.

      It’s a great demonstration of how what modern CEOs are really good at is bullshit rather than management.

      I keep reading “AI is better at doing … than the human” but I tried to code a simple HTML app and that fucker did a horrible job. I kept having to explain the same thing over and over and it kept giving me the wrong code. The company asked us to use this shit and I thought it would save me time… it took longer than if I just coded myself. For now my experience is not good

    If AI was anywhere close to that good, they wouldn’t be encouraging the masses to use it, they would be hoarding access for their own benefit.
