    I like how people talk about replacing actual workers with AI and everyone’s reaction is “well, it’s inevitable really”, but replace literally the most replaceable job in the company with AI and suddenly everyone thinks this is how Skynet starts. Honestly I think an AI CEO is probably going to be more ethical than most of the human ones.

      I don’t think so. An ethical ceo is probably a disadvantage these days. We are quickly approaching a world that used to be sci fi. I’m glad I don’t have kids.

      That’s because actual workers don’t have any power, so replacing them with AI doesn’t give AI any. But if you go around replacing the CEO of Liquid Refreshment Organization it could start doing real damage.
