The Internet being mostly broken at this point is driving me a little insane, and I can’t believe that people who have the power to keep a functioning search engine for themselves wouldn’t go ahead and do it.
I wonder about this every time I see people(?) crowing about how amazing AI is. Like, is there some secret useful AI out there that plebs like me don’t get to use? Because otherwise, huh?
We’re talking execs here, not people.
Of course they’ve got smart people they’re still in the process of getting rid of, but they’re not who the OP was asking about, and they’re mostly irrelevant anyway (and have been since long before LLMs became a problem), since they’re not the ones making decisions.
(Even when talking about smart people, though, being smart about certain things doesn’t mean they’re immune to LLMs. If those things are good at anything it’s catfishing people into believing they’re actually intelligent and useful for something, and many a smart developer or scientist involved in their development has fallen for their stochastic bullshit. And once the brain damage has set in it appears to be quite permanent.)
While I agree that execs are not people, I don’t think they’re being controlled by LLMs.
They’re already idiots for the most part though so what does it matter.
The most horrific part, is that we can’t tell the difference.
Controlled by LLMs or not, their actions would be indistinguishable.
Controlled by LLMs perhaps not, but I believe that the execs pushing AI are drinking as much AI Kool aid as anyone you know who has AI psychosis. That could be why AI is so sycophantic. That is the social model execs in the big 7 want the world to treat them, and they’ve drank so much of their own Kool aid that they believe it now.
