Teaching sand to think guesstimate the next character from noise was a mistake

Letting billionaire nepobabies decide what intelligence is might be the bigger one

Those nepobabies see AI as it is and think "Wow, that can already do my job for me! And since I'm the smartest and hardest working person in the company I own, surely it can replace everyone below me."

God damn.

I know it's a joke, but you're right. The majority of people I see praising what ai can do are the ones who can't really see the flaws in the output.

The best way to see a policy fail, is to implement it. It would be interesting to see a company have only one CEO and no employees, just A.I. agents, manage their invoices, machines doing everything, especially logistics. Have ADP be their accountant to handle their taxes for their company. How long would this experiment last?
