Tech CEOs have this wet dream where they just speak into a microphone, “Create my product” and employees will no longer be needed. So… if it becomes that easy, why will Wall Street need tech CEOs?
who cares! Take the profits and retire!
If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs?

CEOs could also be replaced by AI. And it would be hilarious.

Most CEOs ive worked with are largely driven by emotion. If the LLM is using data to drive its decisions, it will probably do better.

Potentially more effective overall given how so many CEO decisions seem to result in terrible outcomes because they don’t actually understand their product. Usually because they were hired into the company and industry, and have no actual experience with their product or how the company works.

I doubt that an LLM would do very well, but other forms of ML (like a model trained to work in business rules and economic outcomes rather than stringing words together) could probably be used. Hell, they probably won’t need to use the planet-destroying mega data canters to do it; some very effective specialized ML models can be run on a Raspberry Pi.
The biggest problem with AI is they’re convincing people they can think and replace workers by using extremely large language models trained on stolen works provided as cloud services asking for exorbitant subscription fees.
In other words, tech bros figured out how to take something useful and make a grift out of it, because you can get rich by gatekeeping something of value. Why do you think they went so far as to threaten to ban DeepSeek when a free model that can run on a desktop PC from a foreign “adversary” appeared? They all shit their collective pants because the jig was up.

I’m going to die laughing the day investors tell Satya Nadella that they don’t need him anymore and that the AI is going to make the administrative decisions.

Would be funny if they notice a correlation between employee wages and employee happiness and performance.

Wait, this model is paying based off inflation regular wage adjustments, fair market value, experience, AND overall contribution to the company?!?! How are we going to skim and grift when the employees are well paid?!

Because they think they’re special. They think that AI can reduce the number of programmers, the number of support staff, the number of sales agents, because AI allows fewer people to do more.
But there’s only one CEO. One COO. One CIO. They cannot conceive of a company that operates without them, so they feel no threat at all. If they are replaced, they take their golden parachute and hop back on the executive carousel for another spin.

Because they already don’t need a CEO to operate…
The entire point of a C- suite is to have a room full of fall guys for the board.
That’s it.

Not only this, but they all sit on each other’s boards. There’s essentially one big mega corporation:

That is really interesting.

Excellent point. Modern CEOs are just the face of the marketing org. Maybe always have been.

Feed it the CEO’s contact list and email history.
Zoom has literally been pushing this, just feed your whole work text and email history and contact list, generate an AI version of ‘you’, then send that AI avatar to write messages and ‘have meetings’ with other AI avatar of other people…
…and then send you, actual you, summaries of what was ‘discussed’ in these meetingd.

Easy, replace all the CEOs at every company. Those are the connections. The computers can talk to each other to collaborate much faster than us mere humans. Tll
There’s no possible bad scenario from this whatsoever.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is that happening this quarter or next? If not, its too far away to think about for them.
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 7 months ago
Right. All this consideration of medium-term consequences for decisions is why Lemmy isn’t ready to build a CEO LLM, yet.

Thank you for that.
