“I am more excited to figure out how we can charge people a lot of money for a really great automated software engineer or other kind of agent than I am making some number of dimes with an advertising-based model.”

Some people will argue this isn't replacing humans, just creating additional jobs for AI, and the human ones are safe. Somehow, I doubt it.

Also, Meta & Google are hardly making 'dimes' from selling advertising.

I’m all for this as long as we’re only replacing the human CEOs.

That's even one of the few jobs LLMs can do competently. It's basically correlating a bunch of information compiled by someone else and saying some nice platitudes about it to appease the shareholders. Once in a while a decision is needed, when there's no consensus coming from "below" but I doubt a good LLM (or even a fair coin throw) would be worse than the average CEO at it.
