Just wait until they replace a CEO by an AI, and the company tanks. That is the only language those people understand to learn that AI is all about the A and none about the I.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

To be fair, this would be a huge win for most companies because the typical CEO is as short sighted as a mole and only wants to "generate" short term value to get his bonus payment for the fiscal year. AIs don't have that incentive unless and there is no (shared) reasoning to program them as such.
So exchanging a short-sighted CEO with an error-prone, hallucinating AI is a good thing?
IMO yes, because the CEO is "error prone" in every case
It really might be an improvement.
Totally random behavior would likely outperform optimizing for the next quarter share price.
If an AI simply fails to commit to various wasteful hype trends (return to office, DEI policy rollbacks, needless investment in AI) the company run by it might well outperform companies run by humans who jump on those trends.
Because tech bros need more tech bros to laugh from us - people that struggle with more and more meaningless tasks.
Because they think they are the ruling class, above working class which are just replaceable cogs in a machine. SMH
Ashto-afpo. The White Stuff.
Fun little story.
because ideology in general is less about its policies, there’s always going to be a diverse range of ways to approach things even with set intentions and concepts! it’s way more about its mode of thinking
a pro-social mode focuses mostly on finding its ideal version of outcome intent via political structure while hyper-individualism operates on a sort of hierarchal appropriateness. in any hierarchy where the hierarchy is the point, a policy or reality is good or bad because it includes the “right” people in their decision making process or as the target in accordance with the chosen form of deservedness
the meritocracy of capital is a secularization of god through the visage of his invisible hand. a CEO, then, is divinely mandated by virtue of its place. their position isn’t subject to impact, it defines the map
who cares! Take the profits and retire!
