They probably replaced HR with AI too, and it messed up the org chart.

Why are AI agents on the org chart? That’s odd and sketchy. Seems like it could be some sort of fraud to pad numbers.

Is this how AI gets initial funding to start to take over the world independent of any owners? I mean, start creating ghost employees, whose salaries are deposited into accounts controlled by the AI, use them to buy components and pay contractors to create data centers with fake owners, and so on?

They also seem to have replaced their PR team with AI, given all the stuff he probably should have been coached not to say in this interview.

They’re not the only company doing it. Whole thing is dodgy AF.

So interestingly enough, this isn’t super uncommon.
The RPA industry has dealt with something similar previously.
Some companies limit certain systems to only allow human to log into them, RPA tools would impersonate humans so they would encounter this.
A few places I have worked had ad accounts almost indistinguishable from human accounts other than a flag. This required adjustments of org charts, hr systems, etc to ensure that they were treated as th service accounts they actually are.
The leader of th RPA org at one place I worked got hauled in front of the head of HR to explain why his 200 RPA accounts haven’t completed their trainings.
It’s not good practice, but it’s not unique to X.

Depends on how their org chart is referenced. It might be a service account for the AI agent.

It’s twitter. It’s based on fraud these days.

If it’s technically illegal, but nobody ever gets a sentence for it, it’s actually completely legal.
