LLMs respond like a sycophant because that's what CEOs expect. They expect to be surrounded by Yes Men and people who compliment them before they give feedback. That's why before you get an answer for a question, some LLMs will sometimes say "that's a great question."
You'll notice the same thing in Trump's cabinet. No one answers him directly, they provide him with a compliment before they give a response.
You mean Trump's Cabinet is actually working with LLMs ??
On a serious note, do you know of any community on lemmy where we can express our rants against Trump ???
This feels more like a shower rant than a shower thought...
Either way, I'm here for it
Sometimes I even sing...
Welcome to the daily "screaming into hot water"-podcast.
Honestly most of the posts in this community don't really fit the community
LLMs can easily replace managers and execs over anybody else. Honestly, the first things LLMs replace are scammers. Most execs are scammers too.
No way imagine your boss being an LLM 😭 truly nightmare fuel
Can go the other way too:
"Here is that report you wanted"
"Amazing work! You bring such a unique perspective and you personal style can really be felt!"
At least ot's better than some managers
Gotta start at the top
That's obvious to everyone except OP, who wants to start one ring above workers somehow
I'd still rather have the useless fuckwit manager because at least they're some form of human vs a dumbass chatbot.
I have this exact situation. Vp runs literally 100% of his thoughts through a chatbot, which has conviced him that all his SMEs that actually do things are idiots. Hes slightly less of an idiot than the rest of his exectuve cohort, and has thus convinced all of them that we are idiots too.
Not better at all. The chatbot will not consistently fight you when you tell it that its wrong. The chatbot will not relent after being overwhelmed with actual data, then resurface the idea again in 6 weeks, then relent again, then try again in 4 weeks, on and on. I have one project that has been beaten back 5 times now, including having staff quit, hiring new people, and having them agreed it could not be done, and i know its still not over.
You do not want any form of this.
Have you tried to choke out an LLM? Because I have. It wasn't easy.
Depends on how malicious the manager is
My SO boss is soo into LLM and I swear this bloke only fights and say the things for worst outcome of the department. He caves on stuff that he should have died on the hill but something trivial not even worth an ok he will drag out with hell fire.
My manager recently said their new AI tool does pretty much his whole job for him. I miss my last manager. Pretty sure it gets worse up the chain.
Only management would admit to having a machine do their job for them.
If Andreeson believes that workers can be replaced by AI, why isn't he taking his money and running a bunch of companies with AI C-Suites?
He has the hardest to get resource, money. Replacing a CEO that makes millions a year with a GPU and a dedicated engineer to maintain it is going to be 300-500k/ year, mostly for the dedicated engineer. A huge cost savings and let's him leverage his money to scale out to a bunch of different companies.
When he does that, I'll start believing what he says about worker automation.
When two men in business always agree, one of them is unnecessary.
This quote has been attributed to many different people and it apllies here. You don't need a manager that always agrees with AI
Managers would never fire themselves, though.
Looking forward to when A.I. will replace CEOs
I have observed a strong correlation between managers whose emails are now obviously written by AI and those who have significant shortcomings.
I know I’ll probably be downvoted for saying this, but there are a lot of really good managers out there. None of them, however, have a degree in business.
middle and upper management and llm are incompetent, but llm would at least not have an ego about it
Upper management and middle management are the same picture.
All members of management don't do the actual work and the only reason for their existence is to try to get the actual workers to do more stuff for less money.
So even though we all know that their jobs would be one of the easiest to replace with an LLM, what will happen is management will attempt to replace as many workers with LLMs to justify their "more for less" existence.
The number of managers won't go down until there's not enough workers making money to buy the goods and services that the companies are selling. But by then we're all screwed.
If an LLM becomes my boss, I’m going to make it agree to all sorts is outrageous things. Infinite exploits, coming right up!
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
