CEO Who Bragged About Replacing Workers With AI Now Distressed That AI Will Replace His Job Too
Last month, CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski boasted that he hadn't hired anyone in a year because of AI. Now he's worried about his own job.

They said it again. Someone said the thing again.
"Researchers have already studied the possibility of CEOs becoming an endangered species in the age of AI."
"[...] would say 80 percent of the work that a CEO does can be replaced by AI."
People keep babbling about robots and fry cooks... Nah.

Archaeologist here. For 99.5% of human history (ca 300-400,000 years), we were peaceful (no war). There was conflict and smaller scale violence, but countless studies on the 119 known modern hunter gatherer groups show cooperation, negotiation, and peace instead of conflict. Please read books.
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

One girl said “it doesn’t matter if you ban a book because everyone can find that information online” and then I blew their minds by talking about how your search history can be monitored and sold to the government without your permission, but your library borrowing history requires a warrant.

People are posting positively about Pluribus and I am still lost.
I'm hate-watching the show hoping they drop this character out of the plane. I don't get it. I'm pretty lost on the intentional troll of embarrassing a woman about gyn visits just after white rage killed millions.

I'm not going to believe that Bovino can actually read and don't even get me started on the Heinlein book.
Don't make Starship Troopers the new Atlas Shrugged. The book really most likely does not mean what people claim, but if we are going with it where are the colorful earrings on all our troops?

Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino "also revered Starship Troopers, Robert Heinlein's 1959 military sci-fi classic about an interstellar war between humans and alien bugs - a book his sister says he still reads to this day."
An endless amount of deranged details in this interview with Greg Bovino's sister, but most notably that his uncle produced the Jack Nicholson movie The Border and the depiction of the agent as corrupt radicalized him as a 12-yr-old.
"Since then, he was like, 'Dude, I want to do Border Patrol.'"

2) would you believe those acceptable to receive on your account?

Yeah dropping this is an indicator they're being paid to drop it. That's the only explanation.
Fact is, Epstein is the *only* issue impervious to Trump/GOP messaging tactics.
That's why Trump & MAGA keep freaking out—they literally don't know what to do when lying, misdirection, and demagoguery don't work. So they flail around, making it worse.
Dropping it would be political malpractice.

i’m fine with interacting with a company’s AI/LLM bot or chat, but only when it’s abundantly clear what’s going on! under no circumstances should these companies be building experiences that try to deceive people into thinking they’re talking to someone or something that they’re not

xAI and openai really should only be the butt of jokes at this point.
They're biding time hoping nations under export restrictions are forced to innovate so they can clone the result. Just embarrassment to the whole industry.

AI companies can straightforwardly avoid a bubble. Their current models are profitable!
The problem is R&D spend chasing scaling laws that continue to hold and continue to have extreme diminishing returns.
Though many have realized this (except xAI).

Open AI is currently a machine you put two dollars into and get one dollar back, but it promises to replace most of your workforce indefinitely eventually, and that foreign AI systems will never catch up other than all the times they've make analogous products with more efficient design for cheaper.
