You don’t need an AI. Just write a python script that sends emails to everyone once a day admonishing them to work harder.
This replaces middle management 🤣
0 10 5 */2 * pizza-party.shWhat language is that?
Cron scheduling https://crontab.guru/
It’s used frequently on Unix computers to execute a script at an interval like every day, week, etc
CEOs absolutely cannot be replaced by AI because the role that CEOs are meant to fulfill is accountability. When things go wrong, they get passed up the chain, and the CEO is at the top of that chain. Though, it’s not like human CEOs are held accountable either, just that in theory, they’re meant to be, and AIs would be impossible to hold accountable. Currently, CEOs get the best of all worlds - they get huge bonuses when the company does well, and they are sheltered and fall upwards if the company does poorly
CEOs should be the boards’ whipping boy. Like, literally. Anything the company does wrong is punished by lashings, and the board has to give them to the CEO.
As the saying goes.
Bosses always tell me I’m lucky to have a job because hundreds of people are lined up ready to replace me. As chance would have it, there are thousands of people lined up to take the job of “rich cunt that tells people what to do”
Farm it off to AI, and have workers validate its choices through whether the move improves employee happiness.
The brilliant thing about a breathing CEO is they will be used as a scapegoat if/when something goes wrong – rinse and repeat.
You can only do that with AI once.
I dunno, it seems easy enough to say “we’ve got rid of cAIo Colin v1.0 for his clearly insane ideas last year, we’re looking forward to bowing to the whims of Colin v1.3, who I hear has some excellent new data sets from last year!”
Or a different product, or whatever. Ew, in any case.
The disgraced CEO takes the golden parachute then moves on to destroy another company because they’ve got “experience”
CEOs are useless, AI is useless, checks out
this is true because there’s only like two playbooks for bean counter CEOs destroying the world:
A) Enshittify.exe: Fire, Sell, Merge, Union Bust
B) Vulture Capital.exe: Sell assets to ownership portfolio and make business collapse under rental costs.
Like an actual CEO that understands a product and makes good faith effort to ensure both employees and customers are well served is rare and is bad at short term profits (aka discouraged by stock market). This kind of CEO is not replaceable by AI but is highly discouraged by market incentives.
Lads have been staring at a computer screen too long and have no idea how the real world works.
Man is a political animal. People become CEO/president by seniority, respect, reputation. You get to that position by convincing enough of the right people to give you that position.
You don’t think that’s “rational”? Fine, go tell the president of some local society or your company and report back on your results.
Funniest thing I’ve read this week.
Expand on that
In an ideal world that’s how it should work. Unfortunately these days it seems to be the dark triad personalities that rise up the ranks by playing power games.
How would an AI do that? Makes no sense.
The writer of the article thinks a CEO is a bundle of functions, not based on power-politics. No sense of the real world.
Apps don’t play power games and climb the ladder of an organisation.
