AI CEOs might end up doing better, you know?
At least better than the type of human CEOs that decide to go full AI.

Probably not, AI CEOs will be trained on data from how real CEOs work .. so AI CEOs will make all the same problems, with all the same gas lighting that they are doing a great job. Also the AI CEOs will be provided by megacorp models so you just know they will be biased to benefit the owner mega corp over all else.

But they won't be trained on just human CEO data and that means they will easily be better. I think we should guillotine all CEOs and replace them with AI for a trial run for science and all that.

Sure, why not? We should probably do shareholders at the same time, they seem to be the ones forcing the CEOs to make such great decisions ..

They can't even run coffee shops.

Hey, 5 years ago, they couldn't even solve a HackerRank preliminary coding challenge.

The only problem I see with AI CEOs is that the biggest models will be available to those that already have loads of money, so the adversarial investors get to win.

The trouble with that, I feel, may lie in the subtle differences between

the CEO kind of psychopath: batshit unplugged for sure, no contest; just enough to make fucktons of money for far too few people, but not too cracked that they blow everything up, instead...
and, any given bot's penchant for going off the fucking' rails in record time, every time —which, unless you short the whole thing, makes the opposite of money.

But hey, at least when you tell them their mistake, they say, "You are absolutely correct!!"

It's been tried just to see off it could, like putting it in charge of a coffee shop. It's not going well.

That made my day, thank you

What's the problem with the Anthropic one?
Of course everyone wants more W cubes! No?
