Managers might not like people but they don't want to get rid of them. There's no cheap thrill from micromanaging an AI.

100,000% this - money or even utility seems to not be everything, compared to feeling self-importance

MindTraveller ,

Is a CEO a manager?

palordrolap ,

Depends on the size of the company.

Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In ,

Yes. In big established companies they are managing managers.

In smaller companies, no

Restaldt ,

In bigger company’s C levels manage VPs who manage directors who manage managers

It’s management alll the way down

nova_ad_vitum ,

Plus it’s harder to pass the buck and blame an AI for your screw ups. It would be perceived, as the kids say, as a skills issue.

CEO: why not both?

Shareholders: why not all three?

Hedge fund manager: hold my beer.

Several steps later

Narrator: And that, folks, is how we got the Utopia we live in, by replacing all the work with AI, and letting people enjoy their lives

Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

Now I wander what would happen if only rich people would survive and I’m sure somebody has already written an sf book about that

Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.

I make no cleans about the stances of this artist; I just saw this strip years ago.

sukhmel ,

Robots sure are long overdue

django ,

Like the planet solaria: fandom.adminforge.de/asimov/wiki/Solaria

MajorHavoc ,

Yeah. That’s (arguably) the background scenario to Asimov’s book “The Naked Sun” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

Edit: Ooh, Django already gave a cooler link to the same: discuss.tchncs.de/comment/10729278

vga OP ,

Humanity: yes, let’s replace all of the above. 100% unemployment rate is the only way to go.

hazeebabee ,

Honestly 100% unemployed becuase we have a good universal income system or something would be great. But sadly it looks like we’re in a different timeline :(

hydroptic , (edited )

Considering that C-suite executives are usually fantastically expensive, they’d be a logical position to automate (assuming AI worked like suits think it does). For some veeeery strange reason no board of directors has suggested replacing themselves with AIs

Hazzia ,

Sounds like they’re not prioritizing the shareholders interests! Last I heard, that’s a fireable offense!

hydroptic ,

It’s almost like the rules don’t apply to the moneyed class

NigelFrobisher ,

It’d be super easy to replace Sam Altman with a bot that spits out keywords known to increase OpenAI shares.

Waitaminute… Sam alt-man?

Skepticpunk ,

I know, right? It’s like he’s an incredibly shitty sci-fi villain.

quicken ,

CEO is the first role to go!

No tactical nuclear weapons, cluster bombs, sharp sticks etc. for the monkey with opposable thumbs

Instructions Unclear: Took steroids, turned off brain; locked in never ending combat with cat.

hydroptic OP ,

No the instructions were pretty clear, this is on you. Did you maybe turn off your brain before reading the instructions?

In any case, please send cat pictures.

KITTY

CanadianCarl ,

I have been prescribed steroids since I was a kid. That is the benefit of having asthma.

Sotuanduso , to funny in General life advice

A housecat can kill a level 1 commoner, you know.

edgemaster72 ,
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

But it can’t jump (I don’t remember if that ever got errata’d or is being changed in OneD&D)

On a crit it can kill a level 1 wizard

You could take any one of those completely out of context and they’d still be solid.

I’ve already been living my life on these tenets.

Gradually_Adjusting , to funny in General life advice
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Knew a guy who asserted he could easily fight several cats at once and win. I truly hope he finds out one day.

hydroptic OP ,

That’s such a fantastically stupid opinion to have that a dose of reality might do him some good

Gradually_Adjusting , (edited )
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

It was far from his worst. I had to ditch that guy.

Edit: very far, to be clear

hydroptic OP ,

It was far from his worst.

This does not surprise me in the least

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

Any healthy adult human could though. An old friend of mine accidently killed a cat with a single kick while “defending” his cat that was being attacked (I wasn’t there so don’t ask how). He was ~14 years old at the time. At the end of the day, humans are large animals, most of just don’t want to hurt other creatures so we restrain ourselves.

IMongoose ,

Completely agree. The textbook is talking about fighting a cat to help it, not destroy it. You would get bit for sure but could easily win.

ryannathans ,

Now how big could the cat get before it is a fair 1v1

m_f ,
@m_f@midwest.social avatar

Somewhere smaller than a tiger, that would win 100% of the time. I’d guess 30 lbs is where things start to get serious

MNByChoice ,

Humans have fought off hungry cougars. Sadly, not all humans have.

Couldbealeotard ,
@Couldbealeotard@lemmy.world avatar

But are we talking a fight before one side backs down? Or a fight to the death?

psud ,

I don’t think cats back down unless they can run away

MNByChoice ,

Actual fights between humans and cougars. The cougars get killed by other humans if they “win”. The cougar runs away if the human wins.

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

Sadly, not all humans have. You still talking about cats?

Illuminostro ,

A woman near my hometown strangled a rabid bobcat that came after her daughter with her bare hands. Multiple broken fingers, major lacerations, but she got him. Barely. Bobcats are 2 to 3 times the size of a housecat, for those who don’t know.

Gradually_Adjusting ,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

I said several, but as the memory returns I’m recalling he might have claimed as much as twenty at once.

MindTraveller ,

Yeah we’re really World Of Cardboarding it up at all times. You know the stereotypes about crackheads being dangerous in a fight? That capacity is inside us at all times.

Aggravationstation , to funny in General life advice

Don’t fight a cat everyday

hydroptic OP ,

Preferably don’t fight a cat any day

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Fight a cat, steal its drugs, repeat when you run out, got it!

moon , to memes in Smile!

They’ve already got you if you’ve been to an airport and, depending on where you live, protest, large sporting event or just walked down a street with CCTV cameras

lightnsfw ,

Yeah but there’s no reason to make it easy for them. Every picture of you they don’t have is one less to add to their data.

xilona ,

I’m glad at least some people still think straight! Thanks mate!

Unforeseen , to memes in Smile!

If you’ve ever been to a casino in the last 15 years you are already in at least one

grrgyle , to memes in Smile!

Dang. Yeah I don’t feel good about putting pictures online anymore for this reason

I guess I do kinda like some short video content.

The echoie announcer type voice at the beginning reminded me of Waverace 64 or something

Blizzard , (edited ) to funny in Cool bug facts!

I’m going to save this video and send it to one of my friends when they’ll be tripping on acid.
