This is a funny point, but I think it is just kind of a joke for the most part. Ultimately the CEO’s job is to eat responsibility, the LLM can’t be given a golden parachute and pushed out the window when the company has a bad quarter, so it is functionally useless. However, there’s probably a kernel of truth. I guess the org tree should grow like log(n_employees). If AI really makes the workers multiple times more effective, then the size of the company could shrink, resulting shorter trees. Maybe some layers could be replaced entirely by AI as well. There is also maybe an opportunity for a radically different shape to solve the “LLM can’t bear responsibility” problem. Like a collection of guilds and independent contractors coordinated by a LLM. In that case the responsibility stays in the components.
