Yeah, if workers are not needed, CEOs are not needed either. Luckily most CEOs are rich enough to also be investors.

- vkou 1y agoWhy would investors be needed in an AI world? They and their assets could safely be liquidated, and placed under management by it. The only thing that protects them from this is the social contract. If AI unravels the social contract for the rest of us, why should they survive unimpacted? If this sounds cruel or unfair - remember that are always free to retain themselves to do a useful job.
- oytis 1y agoI am not thinking of a scenario where all labour is eliminated, but just knowledge work. In this case one can divest from most tech companies (except those running AI infrastructure), and reinvest in something else. Tech CEOs will not be needed in this case, but it is unlikely to cause a social unrest that will abolish private property altogether
- charcircuit 1y ago>placed under management by it And what would incentivize people do this? Perhaps a return on investment?
