This is literally a caricature of what the average HN engineer thinks a businessperson or CEO does all day, like you can't make satire like this up better if you tried.
- hackyhacky 11mo agoDo you think CEOs have an accurate idea of what engineers do?
- satvikpendem 11mo agoNeither side can truly know, that is the nature of a diffuse organization.
- hackyhacky 11mo agoThat won't stop them from replacing us.
- satvikpendem 11mo agoEven if the AI gets infinitely good, the task of guiding it to create software for the use of other humans is called...software engineering. Therefore, SWEs will never go away, because humans do not know what they want, and they never will until they do.
- unethical_ban 11mo agoIt's mind-boggling. I get riffing on the hyped superiority of CEOs. I've heard inane things said by them. But, being a human being with some experience observing other humans and power structures, I can assuredly say that the tight-knit group of wealthy power-brokers who operate on gut and bullshitting each other (and everyone) will not cede their power to AI, but use it as a tool. Or maybe the person you're describing is right, and CEOs are just like a psy-rock band with a Macbook trying out some tunes hoping they make it big on Spotify.
