I got tickets to the Rush concert in Amsterdam next year. I'm so psyched. I'm bringing my 11 year old son.

Fire the execs and replace them with an LLM.

  • Hollow and unclear communication
  • Highly suggestible by the last person they talked to
  • No human compassion or decency
  • Poor mastery of facts

There's no difference between the average executive and an LLM. Fire them all and save on exec salaries. Maybe they'll be less excited by AI now.

I'm considering a Fairphone next.
