    LLMs are really good at avoiding direct answers and spitting out words in sensible order that has absolutely no meanings.

    You know who’s also good at it? CEOs. Replace CEOS.

    We’re living with the consequences of his generation and the generation before him currently. Unaffordable housing, low wages, high taxes, falling apart economies and a constant threat that we’ll be replaced as soon as possible to please the CEO lords in the name of short term profits!

    Has there ever been a case where a CEO makes a claim that x will change the future of human history and then the CEO has turned out to be correct?

    Remember 3D TVs the technology that was so obviously never going to catch on except amongst CEOs. Now where are they? Can you even buy a 3D TV anymore?

      Probably CEOs in the 70’s and 80’s that predicted that computers would become ubiquitous and part of everyday life when computers were still only used by scientists, business people and hobbyists. Like Steve Jobs.

    I’m so tired of hearing reports of what CEOs and billionaires say, as if it was news. These people aren’t smart, they just managed to stay on stop for longest. Quit giving them a platform.

      Most CEOs are smart. They’re smart in the corporate politics that keep one in such a position. They’re apparently doing something right in the eyes of the board members, or they’d be fired.

      They are not smart in any sense that benefits humanity. The only thing they benefit is themselves.

    Why do these colleges keep inviting these chucklefucks to speak to the various student bodies that clearly hate them? Humiliation tour or something? Or are they all completely up their own asses?

      Why do these colleges keep inviting these chucklefucks to speak to the various student bodies that clearly hate them?

      Because the universities are, themselves, riddled with patronage and graft. The privatization of the University systems has turned a lot of these schools into mere extensions of this or that corporate campus. And so the CEOs treat the student body like interns.

      Probably to try to get some money in sponsorship. Or because they think these are the really smart guys.

      the leadership at a lot of companies have a very poor read on public sentiment, kind of strange given how much data they collect and how much they like to talk about how good they are at using that data.

      And a lot of high level leadership at collages run in the same circles are executives at big companies. These speech events are sort of a benefit for both sides, the leadership at the collage gets to advertise what a good job they’re doing that they were able to get someone so influential to speak, and the speaker gets a sudo-academic platform to state their ideas and an ego boost from the huge in person captive audience.

      A lot of them just kind of write off the discontent they see as “a vocal minority”, so when mass confronted with actual public sentiment, i do think it kind of blind sides them.

      American university to just weird. The university of my hometown tends to get speakers who would you would be excited to meet in the street. They had Patrick Stewart once, everyone was totally fine with him.

      Dude, yes, that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture! 🫪

      This, btw, is one of the best uses of generative AI I’ve seen to date. 😆 Well played.

        I honestly wasn’t trying, I told it to stitch up two pictures. I expected a side by side, not a merger. But it looked really fucking cool
