I did a search to find the original article, first from Business Insider, then from her LinkedIn share.

Definitely not the gender nor race -- or even age range -- that I anticipated the person being.
I totally assumed white guy around 60 years old, not Imani Ellis being it looks like about 32 years old

As far as I can tell, it looks like her companies, CultureCon and Creative Collective NYC, don't seem to be massive or rolling in the big bucks like finance and banking (rudimentary search result here), but nonetheless, to even be ABLE to take 30 days off work, spend the money on a flight -- and hotels!!! -- for 30 days in an incredibly expensive place overseas, that's still flaunting money that most of us would have spent on food or rent.

In the leftist Slack groupchat I'm part of, that was one of the first emojis/Reacts that we created custom: a guillotine

I'm sure he is now paying for employees to do the same. It's good for business!

"What if I pay my workers even less..." 🤔

I've said it before and been downvoted, but this is one job I'm excited to see AI creeping towards replacing.

Let's see them recharge in the unemployment line like everyone else.

It's a fantasy, as they would probably still get golden parachutes, but a man has to have a dream.

You want an AI to lead humans? I can see why people would downvote that.

[–] WilliamTheWicked@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You... really think humans are doing a bang up job, then?

The problem with the AI we have now (or in the foreseeable future) is it's just too dumb. It's learnt from all those bang up jobs humans have done. These ain't no Culture Minds were dealing with.

[–] helmet91@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't imagine it like that. I would think of it more like just an AI tool, that teams are using, and they wouldn't need a CEO.

Of course, not with today's dumb AIs.
