The best use of AI is to replace CEOs, C-Suite, politicians and bureaucrats. Let them feel the heat for the first time in their life.

Interested folks can start by putting in shareholder resolutions with the proposal and the prompts that would replace CEO. SKILLs.md?

So we work for the AI? AI should work for us.

Servant leadership

Servant leadership is a management cliche that works well as a counterbalance to the dominance hierarchy that's implicit in a human org chart. I'm not going to listen to a Claude instance telling me to do something I'd prefer not to do.

I wonder if the instance would send you a termination letter for that level of insubordination.

Most of them could already retire comfortably.

So the only potential heat is boredom.

No the best use is to replace hacker news commentors. Let them feel the heat for the fist time in their life.

See you can add anything there and the sentence will make sense.

I will never vote for an AI system to actually make laws lol wtf are you even saying

Feel the heat? As in, be punished? For what, exactly?

Wage theft

They’re just doing what they’re told to do by the shareholders. They’re the largest cogs sure, but cogs nonetheless, and they’re replaced just as quickly when they fail to make choices that maximize profit above all else.

nobody becomes CEO because of being a cog, you have to intentionally seek it out and be actively willing to participate in the wage theft machine

For being egotistical psychopaths

Your comment is entirely emotionally driven. “These politicians! These bureaucrats!”.

Let me guess, it just happens that the role that you work in is amongst the only that actually provide value, and everything else is just waste.

Developers are among some of the least self-aware people ever, I swear. And I say this as a developer. The God complex instilled in techies in the ‘00s and ‘10s is unrivalled and I’m really enjoying seeing some of you being taken down a peg.
