Next up: CEO level model to run your company. Pricing starts at $800k/month plus stock options



Early cancelation fee is $15M though so watch out for that.


Which is funny because the CEO level one is the easiest to automate


Steve Jobs said something to the effect that he made maybe three CEO decisions a year. I mean, I think these are decisions like, "We're going to open our own line of Apple retail stores", but, still.


Being a CEO isn’t all that different from being a parent of a child from the POV of impactful decisions.

How many critical “parental decisions” have you made in the past week? Probably very few (if any), but surely you did a lot of reinforcement of prior decisions that had already been made, enforcing rules that were already set, making sure things that were scheduled were completed, etc.

Important jobs don’t always mean constantly making important decisions. Following through and executing on things after they’re decided is the hard part.

Playing golf while bantering with your old boys network is going to be hard to automate :)


The banter is actually quite easy to automate. You can hire a human to play golf for a small fraction of what the CEOs get paid, and then it's best of both worlds.


With preexisting knowledge of military artillery arithmetic a a golf robot should not be impossible.


The basic role of a CEO is to be the face of the company and market it to the varioua stakeholders.

This is hard to automatize.


Is it? Take a look at the bot accounts filling up social media (the non-obvious ones). It wouldn't seem to hard to make one that makes 2am posts about '[next product] feels like real AGI' or tells stock analysts that their questions are boring on an earnings call, which is apparently what rockstar CEOs do.

Sneers aside, I think one common mis-assumption is that the difficulty of automating a task depends on how difficult it feels to humans. My hinge is that it mostly depends on the availability of training data. That would mean that all the public-facing aspects of being a CEO should by definition be easy to automate, while all the non-public stuff (also a pretty important part of being a CEO, I'd assume) should be hard.


Sounds like those AI created influencers


I won’t considering trusting an AI to run a company until it can beat me at Risk


This should be easy for an AI.


Please find me a version of Risk with an AI that isn’t retarded. I’ll wait.


But probably not for a LLM. Yet.


That no one is offering this says something very profound to me. Either they don't work and are too risky to entrust a company to, or leadership thinks they are immune and are entitled to wield AI exclusively, or some mix of these things.


Or maybe CEOs make purchasing decisions and approvals


what about politician level models? i wonder if politicians aren't all copy pasting their stuff from chatgtp right now, at this stage (that would make a nice conspiracy theory, wouldn't it?)
