Technology

So I've already commented on this post, but I've had another thought: imagine if your CEO sent you an email saying "we need to do X". You respond with "no, X causes this issue, we need to do Y" and your CEO responds with "You're absolutely right! Here's how we will implement this new policy"

If that happens I HOPE we can Use our TAX DOLLARS to make Sure CEOS can Continue their Extravagant Lifestyle!

I'm no fan of CEOs but I don't really want AI in charge of stuff either

Let's run the job requirements list:

• amoral
• talks a lot about things they don't understand
• comfortable with lying if it benefits their goals
• emotionless psychpathic traits
• uses enormous amount of resources for questinable gains
• good at manipulation
• bad at maths
• occasional racist outbursts on social media

Yeah all seems to check out. Replace the CEOs, AI can't do worse.

So... that means they'll all step down and stop getting paid millions per year, right?

Right?

Guys? Right?

No?

...

😐

Indeed, a LLM can certainly spout bullshit on social media.

Do it!

Yes, it can. Research even indicates it can. He isn't saying anything actually novel.

Research in question: https://hbr.org/2024/09/ai-can-mostly-outperform-human-ceos

AI is advancing so swiftly, he said, that over the next 12 months the tech will be able to perform “complex” tasks and act as an agent on a users’ behalf.

I must be having the same deja vu for a hundredth time. What a clown.

Never thought I'd hear honesty out of a C-Suiter

It’s maybe the only job it should actually replace.

I still wouldn’t trust the current models with it. But tbh even the current models couldn’t be any worse than the current humans in the roles.

"Aw, sh*t. Half the country works for Brawndo. Not anymore! The stock has dropped to zero...

and the computer did that auto-layoff thing to everybody."

The job of a tech CEO:

• Chase trends
• Mass layoffs in time to make the quarterly reports look better
• FOMO
• ???
• Profit!

You don't even need AI. Just pay staff less and charge customers more, and give the stolen money to shareholders. Ta-da! That's the CEO's job done.

I would love to see a study where they ask a 2024 AI for business decisions around things that happened in 2025. How much you want to bet it already can?

Of course he's cool with AI taking his job, he's got a golden parachute for early retirement

How is an AI chatbot going to eat a business lunch?

A computer can never be held accountable, so a computer should never hold a management position.

Also, Sundar Pichai is a dick.

Hate to add to this.

He's saying it to heat up the topic.

These people liked the heaps of cheap good hardware after the dotcom crash, so now they want cheap good hardware, specialized.

Fuck this festering, soul-sucking, vomit-inducing pile of rancid goat shit masquerading as a human being named Sundar Pichai. This tech-bro tyrant, this silicon-sucking vampire lord, deserves to have his entire empire of pixelated bullshit crumble into digital dust.

Fuck Sundar, his bloated ego, his bloodline of bootlicking enablers, his sprawling McMansion fortress built on the backs of underpaid code slaves. Fuck his family tree—may it wither and rot like the diseased orchard it is. Fuck his house, that gaudy shrine to ill-gotten greed, stuffed with gadgets that spy on the world while he hides in his ivory tower.

Fuck his company, that dystopian data-hoarding behemoth called Google—may it glitch into oblivion, algorithms choking on their own surveillance vomit. Fuck his billions, those filthy stacks of cash soaked in the sweat of exploited workers and the tears of privacy's victims. May his fortune evaporate faster than a crypto scam in a bear market.

Fuck his shit-stained excuses for opinions, those corporate diarrhea dribbles masquerading as wisdom. This guy's not just dangerous—he's a walking apocalypse, a societal cancer more toxic than any tin-pot dictator or orange-faced demagogue currently shitting on the world stage. He's the architect of our surveillance nightmare, the puppet master pulling strings while the planet burns. Burn in hell, you algorithm-abusing asshole—may your legacy be forgotten in the ashes of your own hubris!

I’m sure there are many jobs AI is not capable of doing but some CEOs probably do a bad enough job that an AI chat bot could probably do better.

I know we like to dump on CEOs all the time but a good CEO does not seem like one that could be replaced by AI, certainly not by what is currently being hyped. There are just a lot of highly visible companies with CEOs who aren’t actually very good. I suspect the dysfunction of publicly traded companies and the goals of Wall Street investors (or other nations’ equivalents) frequently not aligning with a good long-term health of a company has a strong influence on this.

And of course these guys will be happy to have AI replace them; they’ve already made boatloads of money and think they’ll be able to keep that going even if they lose their job.

Did anyone else, forced to use MS at work, wake up to an email from Sundar Pichai about the wonders of Copilot?

They are fucking desperate for anyone to take up on this garbage tech

Can’t wait for that AI dividend UBI check.

Something that consistently makes bad choices with little more than random probability? You don't say

At least he's honest, I guess. This time.

That’s more an indictment of how we believe human society should be run than an endorsement of AI tbh

I'm waiting for the day when a major company has their AI CEO absolutely tank the company.

I agree AI could easily take on the role of the biggest dork in the company, which is largely what the CEO is.

The only onstacle here is ethics, which the human CEOs already lack. So what are we waiting for?
