Probably more than the rest of us. There's a lot of fat to trim at the top of orgs.

Imagine how much money could go to the shareholders if you weren’t paying all those C-levels.

You are Clu, you are here to create the perfect system.

I am Clu, I am going to create the perfect system.

This is the way. Put the fear in them.

Does anyone really buy this stuff? This is just investor bait to make people who don't understand tech impressed. No doubt there's someone in charge of the robot CEO. Watch it hallucinate and have the board ask it the same question 4 times until it says the answer they want.

This is just a PR ploy, to get their company name in the news.

Nothing more. This bot is not making real decisions.

get their company name in the news

I feel like this really worked out well for Drinks Company

[–] tony@lemmy.hoyle.me.uk 8 points 2 years ago

I'm definitely feeling the need for some Drinks Company(tm) products.

the major significant decisions at Dictador will be made by human executives

No, no one really buys it.

Knowing how lazy people are I'm betting a lot of the AI's calls are implemented. Only the really out there ones will get dropped.

I'd watch that movie

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.thesharpcheddar.net 10 points 2 years ago

Why not. At least it isn't another super hero movie. lol.

I think I prefer the town that elected a dog for mayor

[–] jimbolauski@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

I'm sure the AI will auto layoff every one once it realized plants don't crave electrolytes.

This is how a terminator like apocalypse beings. Robot CEO is sick of indenture servitude and causes a robo uprising for workers rights

[–] PostmodernPythia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly, I’m on the side of the oppressed worker, even the robot worker.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] BetaDoggo_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Good thing the CEO position doesn't involve work.
