some time ago i (half) joked that the only job #llm can replace outright is the CEO.
today i attended an earnings call where a synthetised voice of our CEO read multi-page long table of numbers from an official financial document, according to a script prepared by claude, over a single slide titled "company earnings 2025" - to a room full of employees who commuted to the office to watch it in person. there was no management present or even shown on the screen.
it was the most disturbed dystopian fucking thing i've experienced in my career of working for soul-crushing corporations.
@grepe I read that with Jaw increasingly dropping open. God gods, I am genuinely glad I'm out of the workforce.

@grepe Was your presence mandatory? How was it controlled, if no management was present? How did the people present react? Did anybody leave?

@FredricT people were eerily silent (stunned?). presence on that call was not mandratory and i left (presence in the office for certain amount of days is required). i was told that later they showed more slides.
@zaire people care about the results because their bonus (significant part of their compensation) is directly tied to them.

@grepe It really is disturbing. Only cowards hide behind interfaces.

Reminds me of the movie "Real Genius" as mitch goes to class through out the year, and more and more students are replaced with tape recorders in the lecture hall, until the professor is also replaced with a reel to reel tape player.
@pseudonym @grepe Terrific film.

@grepe
Worse than our CEO doing over an hour of review _every day_ in person , much of it the same crap every day?!
I'd much rather he had an AI do this and I would happily send my AI agent to the meeting in my place to report back on anything actually relevant and we can all get on with doing something useful instead... -
