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

If you really want to hate executives, just remember: This is how they’ve been making decisions for decades.
Find the yes-men, huff farts until the new quarterly numbers roll in, turn thumbscrews on the plebs to actually make profits, keep the profits, repeat.
They’ve merely digitized the yes-men.
Yeah but there’s a slight difference between asking a moron yes-man with an actual brain, and asking a shit-as-fuck mindless ‘bot’. Maybe not much of a difference I admit, but a difference nonetheless
Ehhhhh… you’d be surprised at what cowardly fucks will say yes to!
Let’s just say fucking their wife is very much not a hyperbolic joke amongst politicians and executives alike…
They only want their jollies off (big paycheck in many cases), and literally do not understand the consequences, and more importantly… they enjoy not having to admit direct guilt when everything turns tits up.
Hey CEOs, ask it to design you a deep sea submersible
Send Pics of SandwichesI think this has to be going on at least some of the time. LLM sycophancy literally fuelling itself is a really funny prospect
I agree. Though petrifying is more like how I would describe it
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
the guardian, annoying cookie banner warning
kuiskaajait’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
rem26_artHere’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
LucidlethargyThis 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.
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?
SheridanSnake oil salesmen drinking their own snake oil.
It’s probably why they all like it so much. AI speaks bullshit and bullshit is the language they speak.
Th4tGuyIIPossibility? 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.
People who require their egos to be stroked using the Ego Stroker 3000. AI is a fleshlight for narcissists.
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
And he got to be in that position of power… how? Makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes 🧐🤔
SpaceCowboyEh… 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.
my former boss was doing exactly that and I wish I was joking
That sounds like a painful work environment
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.
That does not thrill me with confidence for this or any future generation
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.
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?
I thought this was a foregone conclusion.
Plausible. Their only C-suite objective is a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders and their wallets.
It’s happening. Also politicians do it. Current laws are created by AI for AI. We humans are deprecated.

🇰 🌀 🇱 🇦 🇳 🇦 🇰 🇮How could you tell? Using AI to think for them and thinking for themselves both leads to the same outcomes.
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.
You can try asking AIs about their usefulness, cost effectiveness, and sustainability. Their answers vary much more than the CEOs’.

They almost certainly are. AIs will cheerfully tell them they’re geniuses with the best ideas ever instead of those pesky employees who say an idea won’t work and want things like pay, time off, etc.
AI exhibits such cult leader-like behaviour sometimes, piling on the praise of the user as if to make them keep using it
Well there was a picture from the US military website showing someone using AI to ask “How to create a war”, so……probably.
They do
Well they are conformist turds who don’t think for themselves but just chrip the corpo swine line sooo… yeah they are doing this…. they are also leaking their intellectual property because they never deserved their seat at the table to begin with. As the system consolidates those who though they were special will soon realise they are NOT. Remember all good soldiers crack like bolders. muhahahaha 😈 Stay safe ya’ll
Well put
I mean CEOs wouldnt want contoured to them echo chambers, that would be what a sociopath would want……..
