If all the pilots, teachers, and nurses disappeared overnight there would be mayhem. If all the CEOs disappeared overnight literally nothing would change. How about we replace the actual pointless jobs with AI like the CEOs that pretty much do nothing by comparison.
Education and health care are two places where the administration has expanded much, much faster than either the “customer base” or the people doing the real work. Which is quite odd. There should be economies of scale at work; you don’t need twice as many administrators to handle twice as many workers or customers. Should be a lot less, like 1.2x or 1.5x. However, the actual numbers have gone the opposite way, like 5x the admin staff for 2x the workers and customers.
While it’s probably the single easiest job to offload onto AI we will need actual humans to take the fall for the boards decisions for the foreseeable future.
“We deleted the software responsible for our most recent ecological disaster” doesn’t have the same weight as firing an actual person.
“We fired the guy responsible for our most recent ecological disaster” doesn’t have the same weight as an actual punishment
The only thought that went through my mind reading the last bit. Is there really that much difference between firing a CEO and deleting an AI? Deleting the AI would save us the cost of the golden parachute…
don’t get me wrong, the picosecond they can they will. it’s just not feasible while the public requires a scapegoat or the people actually responsible might need to avoid West 54th.

Firing a person is the punishment, haven’t you been paying attention to … gestures broadly
I thought it was firing at them
It’s a lot cheaper than the golden parachutes.

I’ve been saying this since day one… Make the AI’s replace these fucking useless pieces of shit. Replace MOST managers, in fact, as well.
