@soatok Not crazy, but rather awesome. There's a vid (apology for Youtube) to think over carefully on this - the pirates in the past set an interesting precedent. Apparently pirates had a clever way of splitting up looted treasure: 2 shares for the captain, 1.5 shares for some middle-management like positions - the carpenter, medic and quartermaster - then all "normal" pirates got one share each. Similarly the product/system/AI you speak of could divvy the "treasure" in this way. Leaders get something more for their work, but it's not crazy-more.
Why is this so awesome? Because the lowliest pirate who swabs the deck looks at his one share of the treasure, and compares it to the captain's 2 shares - it's a 33% - 66% difference in that relative comparison. This is a psychologically tolerable split for most people.

We should seriously make and spread a satire product that replaces the C-Suite of a corporation with LLMs

Cite how expensive business leadership is in terms of worker pay

Actually build a tool that integrates with LLMs but has a system prompt to automatically acquiesce on the formation of Unions or any other pro-labor activities

Laugh when it outperforms actual CEOs if anyone is crazy enough to adopt it

@Nonilex before we get too gung-ho about this ban I think it's worth reading @pluralistic 's take on it: TLDR - it's been nobbled by the lobbyists.

Kind of wild to see most of the world react to what’s pretty much guaranteed to be one of the biggest financial crisis in decades as if it were a temporary and somewhat minor disruption to oil production

Also wild to see Dawkins be the next public intellectual to go full Eliza. We’re going to have plenty more before this is all over

And wild in a good way to see Madonna call out Róisín Murphy for being a TERF.

Wild days

You often hear "every app is painful to use these days because they are optimized for business outcomes over user experience."

But that's not actually true! These decisions are ALSO slaughtering the business outcomes.

The real optimization is for product manager promo packets.
