“Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true.”

    Billionaires also fall into the Gartner hype cycle. And convincing a billionaire there’s an opportunity to automate workers out of a job is a quick way to get an injection of cash.

    It’s going to be generations before we are actually able to automate most labor. But long, long before that AI will be capable enough to replace overpaid CEO’s.

      AI will be capable enough to replace overpaid CEO’s.

      How would this play out? The shareholders pay off the current CEO to implement an AI-CEO and step aside?

        Maybe. Or companies that are AI ran will outcompete the existing ones.

          But how does an AI come to run a company in the first place? A CEO has to be replaced by an AI. What does that process look like in the first place?

            Worker owned co-op with CEO duties coordinated by an AI.
