Does anyone really buy this stuff? This is just investor bait to make people who don't understand tech impressed. No doubt there's someone in charge of the robot CEO. Watch it hallucinate and have the board ask it the same question 4 times until it says the answer they want.
- This is just a PR ploy, to get their company name in the news.
  
  Nothing more. This bot is not making real decisions.
  
  get their company name in the news
  
  I feel like this really worked out well for Drinks Company
- the major significant decisions at Dictador will be made by human executives
  
  No, no one really buys it.
- Knowing how lazy people are I'm betting a lot of the AI's calls are implemented. Only the really out there ones will get dropped.
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.
- 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.
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.
Bojack Horseman plot point IRL?!
I like to see that a company called dictator is hiring AIs to give orders to the proletariat
Remember "Neuromancer"? The CEO AI who crafted art work...🤪
Fuck yeah
