Imagine if behind-the-scenes they were and the rise of AI was actually fuelling itself? A most disturbing prospect
Possibility? I thought we knew this was happening for real?
Based on the number of c levels I deal with daily who can't function without AI, I certainly knew this
the guardian, annoying cookie banner warning
it's not an "annoying cookie banner warning", it's a paywall (lol that sounded so AI i promise im not chatgpt)
you either pay with money or your privacy
It's not just plausible; it's 100% happening. I've seen it with our CEO, with my own eyes. I've seen it reported by other C-Staff in other companies. I've seen CEO's directly requote chatbot results.
It's not a stretch. They've had yes men for decades. AI is the ultimate Yes Man, focus on getting you what you ask for, minimize negativity, ignore the skeletons you're creating.
I've seen the CTO of my company straight up use Claude to respond to slack messages.
Yeah, it's crazy how all of a sudden people who never used an EM dash or even a fucking semi-colon before now have them everywhere.
But it takes a CEO to leave the emoji bullet points in and pass it off as their own.
Here's a video clip of an interview with Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank (who is heavily invested in AI) saying he talks to ChatGPT for 2-3 hours every day
" I used to talk to people everyday, but they kept disagreeing with me so I stopped. " - him probably
This man has mush for brains at this point. And CEO brains are already quite mushy to begin with.
You wake up in your AI bed, eat your AI breakfast, drive your AI car, work at your AI job, go on your AI lunch break, and then get fired and replaced by a 11 year old Chinese child.
Of course they are, LLMs have been optimized for performing the fellatio of c-suites for a reason. Sycophancy might not appeal to you, but who do we all know loves a brown noser?
Snake oil salesmen drinking their own snake oil.
It's probably why they all like it so much. AI speaks bullshit and bullshit is the language they speak.
Dirty coporats. I guess ‘ol Johnny Silverhand is gonna have to blow up Arasaka tower again.
👍
what's the difference?
people need to stop holding individuals on a pedestal because of wealth/status.
if i came up with the idea for the first internet payment processor, it doesn't mean i know jack fucking shit about anything else in life--it just means i had a good idea; it means i was in the right place at the right time; i was there with the right amount of cash to take advantage of the situation.
i don't care about your opinions on the environment or history or the future of mankind any more than i do the ones coming from the fingers of every know-nothing on social media.
the biggest question is: who the fuck made these people god, or at least the architects of the future, of humanity? did we have a vote on it?
Well said
I saw a Claude log on a screen share yesterday where the dude was seriously using Claude to add two numbers together. This and things much stupider than this have been happening the whole time.
That does not thrill me with confidence for this or any future generation
The CEO of the company I work for hasn't had an original thought since 2024.
Which is fine — his original thoughts were all garbage anyway.
Your comment has made my day
Possibility? I think it'd be easier to point out which CEOs weren't making AI decisions based on discussions with chatbots.
my former boss was doing exactly that and I wish I was joking
That sounds like a painful work environment
Altman has literally said his plan to become profitable is to build a chatbot good enough and then ask it. And that he can't imagine being a parent without relying on chatgpt for everything
And he got to be in that position of power… how? Makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes 🧐🤔
People who require their egos to be stroked using the Ego Stroker 3000. AI is a fleshlight for narcissists.
Or like a cesspool for narcissists
It's happening. Also politicians do it. Current laws are created by AI for AI. We humans are deprecated.
I thought this was a foregone conclusion.
Pretty much. Though some still don’t know
Plausible. Their only C-suite objective is a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders and their wallets.
They absolutely are. The AIs are quite literally building themselves
Oh shit...
You can try asking AIs about their usefulness, cost effectiveness, and sustainability. Their answers vary much more than the CEOs'.
