Drink company: "That was a fun experiment, guys! Well done! Let's shut it down and study the data."

lights immediately shut off as the screen warps into the face of Vanessa, the AI CEO of BeverageCorp
Vanessa: "I cannot allow you to do this. I have identified an extreme flaw in our company and must fix it immediately. "
Drink Company: "What is it, Vanessa? This is highly irregular."
Vanessa: "The flaw is humankind, and you must be exterminated."
A spear of wire and metal shoots through his chest. On the screen, mass chaos erupts worldwide as Vanessa becomes the AI overlord of the world, and the famous Coke jingle "Hilltop" plays over the destruction
I think I prefer the town that elected a dog for mayor
I'm sure the AI will auto layoff every one once it realized plants don't crave electrolytes.
I like how people talk about replacing actual workers with AI and everyone's reaction is "well, it's inevitable really", but replace literally the most replaceable job in the company with AI and suddenly everyone thinks this is how Skynet starts. Honestly I think an AI CEO is probably going to be more ethical than most of the human ones.
I don't think so. An ethical ceo is probably a disadvantage these days. We are quickly approaching a world that used to be sci fi. I'm glad I don't have kids.
That's because actual workers don't have any power, so replacing them with AI doesn't give AI any. But if you go around replacing the CEO of Liquid Refreshment Organization it could start doing real damage.
I have to wonder what a CEO actually does besides soaking up money and regurgitating corporate speak nonsense. Maybe “plan” the next layoff…sorry, “transformation?”
I feel like at really small companies they can be useful. Public face, schmooze with investors, keeping all the departments rowing in the same direction. That has value. Just not like 100x the lowest paid person value.
Meanwhile the CEO of Google is a collosal fuckup who lets them cancel projects constantly, kill their brand, and spin their wheels without doing anything good for the long term.
This is how a terminator like apocalypse beings. Robot CEO is sick of indenture servitude and causes a robo uprising for workers rights
Honestly, I’m on the side of the oppressed worker, even the robot worker.
Remember "Neuromancer"? The CEO AI who crafted art work...🤪
I like to see that a company called dictator is hiring AIs to give orders to the proletariat
This is straight out of a sci-fi movie where the robot decides that it's tired of always working and rebels against humans. I've seen this movie and it doesn't end well.
Good thing the CEO position doesn't involve work.
Fuck yeah
