I’m wondering why this video is getting downvotes. I’d appreciate if someone commented on it with concrete criticism to help me understand…
Are people just triggered by the mention of the word CEO or what? Has anyone watched the video, or ppl just downvote it based on the title? It keeps being downvoted without explanation.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care about “karma” or “likes”, I’m just baffled because I consider this video genuinely informative and educational.
Love to see it. One step closer to replacing the capitalist class.
The video is about how anyone can use GenAI tools, and how it can help with any complex mental task, even at the level of making long term decisions for a big company. Time will tell how this goes.
The video however doesn’t touch on topics like replacing executives with AI.
You’re right that isn’t directly talked about. Though the guest says @ 17:25 he treats the bot as if he’s talking to one of his own execs. And later they talk about how much better it is a generating ideas vs MBAs. The guest assures us he isn’t outsourcing his brain, that he retains “leadership style” and still asks critical questions.
Fair point. I missed that.
