"A computer is never held accountable, so we should put a computer in charge of everything so we are not held accountable."

Well, they did sell the equipment that enabled the paperwork side of the Holocaust. So yeah.

SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org · 9 pts · 219d (1 reply)

Surely they were held accountable, right?

chaogomu@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 218d

Not even slightly.

"Lavender" and "Where's Daddy" exist. Fascists already figured it out.

Funny, management can't be held accountable either.

MercuryGenisus@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 219d

This. Exactly this. If no one is ever accountable why not save some money and use computers? They don't need as much salary.

It took me way too long to understand "meat dev" just means "human programmer."

Sounds like most politicians and all billionaires.

DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml · 23 pts · 219d

We currently don't hold people/corporations accountable either, so I don't see much of a difference in what we put in charge.

this is %90 of the reason why there are consultancy companies, I guess they will be replaced by AI which is equally good at producing wrong information while sounding completely confident about it.

So has management been held accountable?

hitstun@fedia.io · 16 pts · 219d (1 reply)

Seems legit to me. I found a 2017 Twitter post with this in it.

Unfortunately destroyed by flood in 2019 with most of my things. Inquired at the retirees club zoom last week, but there’s almost no one the right age left. Not sure where else to ask.

This one just goes down as true 🫡

edit: goes down as true in a way that I won’t be able to accept in post-2022 years 😢

Today: "But that's the neat part!"

I know... but... can we actually give up the hilarious situation of a ceo being fired and replaced with a management a.i, that is ultimately just an agentic LLM. So it eventually destroys the company.

jj4211@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 219d (1 reply)

So it eventually destroys the company.

So it is just as good as the typical CEO

ToclafaneTourist@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 217d

Yeah but people will assume its not, put faith in it because of the label, and then implode institutions/companies.

Where as the stupid c.e.o "normally" just gets fired or "resigns". Im riffing tho so who knows.

rockettaco37@feddit.nu · 11 pts · 218d

Heh... remember when technology had ethics?

minorkeys@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 219d

I feel similar about corporations and power.

Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 219d (1 reply)

This is bullshit.

I've seen people fired from my company and replaced by AI.

Let's see the executives and managers go next. It's far, Far, FAR fucking easier to replace them.

AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 219d

That's the opposite of what this is talking about. They are telling the developers that the computer should never be used the way we currently use LLMs.

Venator@lemmy.nz · 7 pts · 218d

Its actually just IBM propaganda trying to limit thier liability 😅

if IBM software makes a bad call, that's not IBMs fault

😅

but the modern computers are smart AI unlike 1979 computers /j

Management: This is exactly why computers should be making the decisions.
