    I like how people talk about replacing actual workers with AI and everyone’s reaction is “well, it’s inevitable really”, but replace literally the most replaceable job in the company with AI and suddenly everyone thinks this is how Skynet starts. Honestly I think an AI CEO is probably going to be more ethical than most of the human ones.

    I have to wonder what a CEO actually does besides soaking up money and regurgitating corporate speak nonsense. Maybe “plan” the next layoff…sorry, “transformation?”

    I like to see that a company called dictator is hiring AIs to give orders to the proletariat

    This is straight out of a sci-fi movie where the robot decides that it’s tired of always working and rebels against humans. I’ve seen this movie and it doesn’t end well.
