Here's how you know it's not ready: AI hasn't replaced a single CEO.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Man, I want to be at that shareholder meeting; "how about we just don't have a CEO and pocket the savings?"

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Then they’ll replace the board with AI. Guess who will control the AI?

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Until AI owns stocks, the board will not be replaced with AI.

I tried that recently on the Gemini 2.0 flash and it got it wildly wrong as well. Seems strange AI seems to struggle with it.

McDonald's couldn't even get AI to take drive-through orders properly. Musk wants it to run the government without even doing a test run first.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 79 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's because he and his kind believe government is useless and can just be broken without losing anything important. From their point of view, government is just a thing that takes money from them and spends it on people who don't deserve to live because they're not asshole billionaire techbros. And it makes poor people's lives slightly less unpleasant by giving them money and services, which billionaires don't like because it makes the poor less desperate and exploitable.

kinda like racks of servers that keep a social media site used by 100s of millions of users? the ones muskrat just yanked willy-nilly out of a data center and loaded onto uhauls? it took weeks for twitter to repair that damage.

He's either

  • an incompetent moron who thinks AI eventually will be like in the movies, you just need to push throught its teething pains,
  • someone that tries to destroy the government and its services through weaponized incompetence, so they can be privatized,
  • both, because I saw way too many things in real life.

Looks like Musk is using the Japanize "drying river"-model that's like starter lever shit in economics. Doing that on a society level is insanely stupid.

Mark my words, they're trying to use the same shitty type AI to deny Medicare patients like UHE.

DOGE ~~Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government~~ is Wildly Dangerous.

Fixed that for you.

[-] aaron@infosec.pub 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Musk's various ponzi schemes, up to the Artemis-killing SpaceX fiasco, were coming due. Trump provided the opportunity for him to pivot into government, by replacing it with his AI, gps with starlink, air traffic control with whatever he comes up with, etc etc etc, making himself even more too big to fail. The US government the latest offering on the ponzi|pyramid. Trump's ideology aligning with Musk's own true beliefs is a bonus.

It will severely weaken the US in direct measurable short and long-term ways, to the point it is a real disaster for the US. Those to blame are all those that never called him out throughout his rise. Not to mention those governments (Republican and Democrat) who fed him public money throughout the entire period.

Edit - Bezos's The Washington Post is apparently supporting him now. No surprise, they want an oligarchy. The Democrats are moving rightward, they are more or less happy with it too.

I guess it is some version of the land of the free home of the brave, but maybe it is the freedom to do what you want if you're rich, and have been brave enough to brazenly take everything and exploit everyone.

Make solutions in search of problems while collecting big tech premiums. If anyone accuses you of wasteful spending call them science illiterate to turn the public against them to divert the attention away from yourself.

And ~~if~~ when the AI fails, buddy billionaires will be there to offer privatized alternative, for a fee of course.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago

They want this so they can blame the computer when it makes a bad decision which is actually just parroting what they want

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I will be the first to lean into the fact that over the next 5 years, workflow in every company will change dramatically. It's going to be like the shift from no one having email, to everyone doing business by email.

But you know what's a bad idea? Rawdogging that change in real time, on spec, with your human workflow staff out in the street, and your staff are politically-appointed children, all while things like critical infrastructure, healthcare, nukes, air traffic, and the military are your "in production" assets that might go down. All to try and be the guy that shoves his AI in the gap.

All governments moved to email slowly because, among other reasons, email is inherently insecure. Email use by governments, records laws, and encryption standards progressed together. None of those types of knock-ons are considered here.

[-] SabinStargem@lemmings.world 15 points 1 week ago

I like AI, but it definitely isn't ready for something so important as governance.

Which is why it is perfect for DOGEbags: They want to break everything, and just say the AI is at fault. Odds are that they will blame gay furry hackers for trying to ruin everything.

The most frustrating part is that both the republican senators and house members KNOW this makes no sense, but they don't have the balls to say anything. Our government is so fucked.

[-] queueBenSis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

yeah cause they’re all getting money under the table in various forms. i’m convinced every politician that has not spoken out about the ridiculous shit that has been happening is bought out

Elon is the sort of person to (pay someone) to play universal paperclips and then wonder why they didn’t ask the AI to instead make money.

I work with a team of very talented AI and ML folks. I think it works quite well in certain usecases. These are not they.
