    How about you replace the CEO with Ai and give the employees a pay raise with all that money saved!

      The only thing that matters is creating value for the share-holder (this is how public corporations work). If you can convince the share-holders that AI can perform the job better than executives, they will demand executives and their board of directors be replaced on the spot. Share-holders care about one thing, maximizing profits. They will never favour the average employee as they see them as red numbers on the balance sheet. All the employees need to do is buy up all the shares and they can make this happen. Pretty unlikely scenario unfortunately, but one can dream.

    Most bigger tech companies are bureaucratic nightmares already, where nothing productive can get achieved no matter how many people you throw at it. AI will only make them more efficient at bullshit.

    All these CEO’s are getting cold calls from OpenAI, sitting through a 30 minute high pressure sales pitch that tells them they can do 3x the work with 1/3 the staff for a small monthly fee that scales with work done and they’re all slobbering to buy it.
