The $5/hr AI can probably out-produce CEOs though.

Prediction markets have been proven more effective than CEOs for decades. The economic system we have today isn’t optimizing for efficiency - it’s optimizing for control. Even if the CEOs are just using AI themselves, we’re more likely to obey an order from a human middleman than we are from an AI directly.
TL;DR: CEOs are Gaius Baltar

The role of CEO might actually be one of the most fitting for AI. In a co-operative business model, where employees collectively own the company. An AI could serve as the neutral, data-driven decision-maker. Instead of relying on a single human executive who may be influenced by ego, bias, or personal gain, an AI could analyze performance metrics, market trends, and employee feedback to guide the company strategically. It wouldn’t replace people, but it could coordinate them efficiently, minimizing politics and maximizing long-term success. It’s not about removing humans from leadership, but rather redefining leadership as a shared, optimized process.

I’ve posted this time and time again: the CEOs most valuable function isn’t making decisions. It’s taking the fall when the company fucks up so the board can go “yup we replaced him” and continue to pull shady shit after a while

more than that: the CEO can commit extreme amounts of fraud to benefit themselves and the board and all their friends, then when things get public and they can’t keep the CEO they LITERALLY BUY THEM OUT for hideous sums (which no doubt gets redistributed to the whole group of charlatans as well), then rinse and repeat with the next CEO.
And of course no one involved is paying their taxes properly, and probably there’s a bunch of government subsidies involved that end up in their bank accounts.
