Imagine if behind-the-scenes they were and the rise of AI was actually fuelling itself? A most disturbing prospect
Has anyone actually considered this possibility???

Possibility? I thought we knew this was happening for real?

Based on the number of c levels I deal with daily who can't function without AI, I certainly knew this

Subnautica 2 publisher’s CEO used ChatGPT in failed bid to avoid paying US$250m bonus to own studio head, court hears
the guardian, annoying cookie banner warning

it's not an "annoying cookie banner warning", it's a paywall (lol that sounded so AI i promise im not chatgpt)
you either pay with money or your privacy

Here's a video clip of an interview with Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank (who is heavily invested in AI) saying he talks to ChatGPT for 2-3 hours every day

" I used to talk to people everyday, but they kept disagreeing with me so I stopped. " - him probably

This man has mush for brains at this point. And CEO brains are already quite mushy to begin with.

It's not just plausible; it's 100% happening. I've seen it with our CEO, with my own eyes. I've seen it reported by other C-Staff in other companies. I've seen CEO's directly requote chatbot results.
It's not a stretch. They've had yes men for decades. AI is the ultimate Yes Man, focus on getting you what you ask for, minimize negativity, ignore the skeletons you're creating.

I've seen the CTO of my company straight up use Claude to respond to slack messages.

Yeah, it's crazy how all of a sudden people who never used an EM dash or even a fucking semi-colon before now have them everywhere.
But it takes a CEO to leave the emoji bullet points in and pass it off as their own.

Of course they are, LLMs have been optimized for performing the fellatio of c-suites for a reason. Sycophancy might not appeal to you, but who do we all know loves a brown noser?

Snake oil salesmen drinking their own snake oil.
nullspace@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 54d
It's probably why they all like it so much. AI speaks bullshit and bullshit is the language they speak.

Possibility? I think it'd be easier to point out which CEOs weren't making AI decisions based on discussions with chatbots.

Dirty coporats. I guess ‘ol Johnny Silverhand is gonna have to blow up Arasaka tower again.

The CEO of the company I work for hasn't had an original thought since 2024.
Which is fine — his original thoughts were all garbage anyway.

Your comment has made my day

what's the difference?
people need to stop holding individuals on a pedestal because of wealth/status.
if i came up with the idea for the first internet payment processor, it doesn't mean i know jack fucking shit about anything else in life--it just means i had a good idea; it means i was in the right place at the right time; i was there with the right amount of cash to take advantage of the situation.
i don't care about your opinions on the environment or history or the future of mankind any more than i do the ones coming from the fingers of every know-nothing on social media.
the biggest question is: who the fuck made these people god, or at least the architects of the future, of humanity? did we have a vote on it?

Well said
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 54d
Altman has literally said his plan to become profitable is to build a chatbot good enough and then ask it. And that he can't imagine being a parent without relying on chatgpt for everything
TheAntiAiLeader@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 54d
And he got to be in that position of power… how? Makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes 🧐🤔
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 53d
Eh... it is the job of the CEO to promote the company and products they sell. And that's what he's doing there.
What concerns me more is how many people believe the obvious bullshit the tech bros say.
tarball@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 53d
my former boss was doing exactly that and I wish I was joking
TheAntiAiLeader@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 53d
That sounds like a painful work environment
aesthelete@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 53d
I saw a Claude log on a screen share yesterday where the dude was seriously using Claude to add two numbers together. This and things much stupider than this have been happening the whole time.
TheAntiAiLeader@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 53d
That does not thrill me with confidence for this or any future generation
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · -2 pts · 53d
Hmmm... I use google to do math all the time. It's kinda nice, you can put units in and put the results in in the correct units.
fodor@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 53d
How to admit you don't know what a calculator is without admitting it.
aesthelete@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 53d
Dude there wasn't any units. This was seriously something you could type into a python repl, an excel cell, or even windows calculator.
shiftymccool@piefed.ca · 3 pts · 53d
Or, here's a wild idea, use your brain
aesthelete@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 52d
But but but that causes thinky pain
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · 0 pts · 51d
Can you type in "80 mph * 420 minutes in km" into excel and get an answer?
Using google is useful because it will understand the units, which can serve as a check. If the units match what you're expecting you know you got the formula right.
aesthelete@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 51d
Again there was no units in what this dude had in his Claude chat. It was a simple addition of two numbers.
I know that people on the Internet love to argue, but Jesus tapdancing Christ man could you at least read before responding?
vane@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 54d
It's happening. Also politicians do it. Current laws are created by AI for AI. We humans are deprecated.
RoddyStiggs@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 53d
I thought this was a foregone conclusion.
TheAntiAiLeader@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 53d
Pretty much. Though some still don’t know
heartSagan5@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 53d
Plausible. Their only C-suite objective is a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders and their wallets.
WanderWisley@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 53d
You wake up in your AI bed, eat your AI breakfast, drive your AI car, work at your AI job, go on your AI lunch break, and then get fired and replaced by a 11 year old Chinese child.

They absolutely are. The AIs are quite literally building themselves

marcos@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 53d
You can try asking AIs about their usefulness, cost effectiveness, and sustainability. Their answers vary much more than the CEOs'.
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 1 pts · 53d
How could you tell? Using AI to think for them and thinking for themselves both leads to the same outcomes.
