- conscion 9mo ago> Actual effective managers do much more And how many managers are effective vs. only information funnels?
- BobbyJo 9mo agoThe bad ones tend not to be information funnels.
- avalys 9mo agoFiring a bunch of ineffective managers because they can easily be replaced by AI seems like a net improvement to me.
- signal11 9mo agoEven “only” information funnels have value if they seek out valuable info, filter, curate. In reality some funnels in this context mutate the message they’re supposed to pass on :-)
- zwaps 9mo agoLLMs do all that pretty well :-)

- nitwit005 9mo agoIn some organizations, the upper management generates a real burden on people below them with ever changing demands for information. I have to assume some of it serves a social, rather than practical purpose, like having people re-assure them that projects are going well. If that's the case, automation may just not make sense.
