CEOs Who Think AI Replaces Their Employees Are Just Bad CEOs

My anticipatory frustration is that it will probably take significant failures with catastrophic financial and possibly economy-scale destruction before the lesson is learned higher up, whether it s CEOs learning or boards/investors jettisoning CEOs who haven t learned, and then it ll still take time for lower managers at smaller organizations to get the idea that maybe AI isn t a solution to everything. The only thing that seems to mitigate the possibility of a massive awakening is the fact that our society is inured to the idea that incidental tragedy and even intentional cruelty is something we can happily tolerate as long as our lives aren t overly disrupted. We ve accepted mass shootings, insurance denial fraud, wartime gas prices, ICE/CBP stealing our neighbors in broad daylight. What more is an LLM bot messing up our prescriptions or signing off on machine parts that are going to cause accidents?
