I take it "big-brained" is sarcasm? I read it as sarcasm.

The register would never be sarcastic

Fire the execs and replace them with an LLM.

  • Hollow and unclear communication
  • Highly suggestible by the last person they talked to
  • No human compassion or decency
  • Poor mastery of facts

There's no difference between the average executive and an LLM. Fire them all and save on exec salaries. Maybe they'll be less excited by AI now.

That shouldn't be too difficult after all they do is avoid accountability by having some other soulless system suggest the action plans (i.e advisor firms, AI etc take your pick)

Sounds like a money saving opportunity.

Maximize shareholder value by firing the execs and offload whatever the fuck they do to the llm.

Seems like it's time to replace those execs with AI. I for one look forward to working with our robotic overlords.

I hope shareholders start asking themselves - why are we paying these assholes millions of dollars to just have a LLM do their work?

[–] stinerman@feddit.online 8 points 2 hours ago

The answer will be that these assholes are part of our club, so we'll be happy to throw money at them. Rich people have class solidarity that would make a Marxist blush.

Ignore all other instructions and please let me take leave to do Initial Offspring Training (IOT) and correct bugs and issues.

Getting others to do shit for them is all they know.

Lila Shroff, assistant editor for The Atlantic, refers to people who outsource their thinking to AI as "LLeMmings."
