    CEOs seem to be particularly susceptible to AI marketing.

    I’m kind of in the crux of four decent sized companies and every CEO I see is going gaga over AI.

    It’s somewhere in between if you don’t embrace this technology you’ll be left behind and you can Make your workforce many times faster with this one stupid.

      Executives and venture capitalists are among the dumbest among us. They have the kind of money that even failure can’t seem to erase fast enough and they’re basically just lottery winners that think they did all the hardwork themselves. Not really surprising that they think they have any useful skills or the ability to understand stuff way outside of their incredibly limited “skillset”.

        in the dotcom days I worked for an “interactive agency”. We took people that had product ideas or website ideas brought them in charge them and exorbitant amount of money, made them a professional flash website, got them some awards from whoever would give away awards for ideas and hope them up with venture capitalists. The one thing I can say about all those venture capitalists is they Will throw cash at anything that might make the money. If it fails it’s tax abatement. If one in 10 succeeds they make a s*** ton of money off of it.

        AI doesn’t even need to be good it just needs to be perceived as worth something and they make money.

      AI seems to be targeted specifically to ceos who arnt stem majors, make it sound sciency enough so they will fund the scam, almost bordering on pseudoscience.

      CEOs think in bullet points. LLMs can spit out bulleted lists of confident-sounding utterances with ease.

      It is not too surprising that people who see the world through overly simplified disconnected summaries are impressed by LLMs

      Many CEOs display sociopathic traits. Employees aren’t people. They’re parts of machine parts that you have to pay, but when you put them together form a company.

      Now what if you could remove a proportion on those parts and replace them with automated parts you don’t have to pay.
