In our current high internet rate environment, we’ve already seen perverse incentives around firing workers to juice stock prices. Even if everything is the post is true, I don’t see what’s preventing c-suite’s from doing more of the same with AI. Sure, maybe it will all blow-up in their faces when an unchecked AI engages in wildly irresponsible or illegal behavior, but they’ll just golden parachute away to their next gig replacing people with LLMs.
- doitLP 4y agoWhat you’re describing is the commandment to “follow incentives”. We will adopt it to the hilt no matter who we are because the incentives dictate we must. What governments or people will do when many are out on the street because their job has been made obselete, that’s the real question.
