    Why do I get the feeling that the hot new thing for CEOs to do is ask AI whenever they need to make a decision. Would explain a lot.

      Someone somewhere is already asking whether a CEO’s job can be done by AI.

        Funny I was just wondering the other day if companies that practice vibe programming also practice vibe management.

          Vibe management (and investment) is a time honored tradition. It brings you such magnificent results as Theranos.

            It still amazes me that all of those investors and endorsers were so dazzled by her sales pitch that nobody bothered to actually get confirmation of any of the technical details. They just believed…that’s it.

              In my experience, the further up the foodchain you move (from worker bee to manager, director, VP, CEO, Board, Investors) the more they take for granted, the more they “go with their gut.”

        It is literally one of the jobs, AI is best fitted to kill 🤭

        It is all statistics, just like LLMs
