In my experience a lot of workers start doing a really shit job once they get told they have the slightest bit of authority over other people. Sadly that does not mean they would be worse than other upper management.
Prediction markets have been proven more effective than CEOs for decades. The economic system we have today isn't optimizing for efficiency - it's optimizing for control. Even if the CEOs are just using AI themselves, we're more likely to obey an order from a human middleman than we are from an AI directly.
The role of CEO might actually be one of the most fitting for AI. In a co-operative business model, where employees collectively own the company. An AI could serve as the neutral, data-driven decision-maker. Instead of relying on a single human executive who may be influenced by ego, bias, or personal gain, an AI could analyze performance metrics, market trends, and employee feedback to guide the company strategically. It wouldn’t replace people, but it could coordinate them efficiently, minimizing politics and maximizing long-term success. It’s not about removing humans from leadership, but rather redefining leadership as a shared, optimized process.
I've posted this time and time again: the CEOs most valuable function isn't making decisions. It's taking the fall when the company fucks up so the board can go "yup we replaced him" and continue to pull shady shit after a while
more than that: the CEO can commit extreme amounts of fraud to benefit themselves and the board and all their friends, then when things get public and they can't keep the CEO they LITERALLY BUY THEM OUT for hideous sums (which no doubt gets redistributed to the whole group of charlatans as well), then rinse and repeat with the next CEO.
And of course no one involved is paying their taxes properly, and probably there's a bunch of government subsidies involved that end up in their bank accounts.
That's pretty much exactly what I meant, yeah - except maybe the redistributing. The CEO makes the board rich with all the fraud and deceit before they even get their golden parachute. Pretty sure they're gonna keep that for themselves.
Do fraud, earn 10 billion for the company, get caught, company pays a hundred million fine, you get a hundred million golden parachute, company gets a brand new CEO, everyone's happy except for all the plebs who got fucked over.
I get paid that much, and sure as hell respect the people making less, because they work so much harder than me, when I'm just sitting at a desk in zoom calls, occasionally getting to write a little code.

Bip bop boop. I am a bot. Did I do good? No? Go fuck yourself you son of a fucking removed. I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

From my experience ChatGPT can handle the job of all upper management far easier than your average worker.
In my experience, most workers would do at least as good a job in upper management, but the reverse is not true at all.

The business world is tough.
Yes. My upper management also hallucinates, confabulates and makes up pointless shit task in sake of having new tasks.
People would however notice, because AI wouldn't throw occasional ego tantrums.
and the meetings about meetings
The $5/hr AI can probably out-produce CEOs though.

TL;DR: CEOs are Gaius Baltar

Not exactly a high bar there...
If a job wanted to pay me $50/hr, I would actually try.
I get paid that much, and sure as hell respect the people making less, because they work so much harder than me, when I'm just sitting at a desk in zoom calls, occasionally getting to write a little code.
maybe you'd feel better if you helped them unionize and contributed a lil' to the union's strike fund?

Who decreased the frame rate of the gif?
I did. also ate some of the pixels. was hungry, sorry
It actually seems like that issue came from loading the gif itself.
Remember that GIF is lossless and barely has inter-frame compression.
gif was lossless, until I got hungry
