~~Tech~~ CEOs are a cancer on society and the planet. Ruining everything just to make fake numbers go higher.

The alternative is running everything by committee, which isn't always practical.

You can have a single person in charge without them having the title "CEO".

Making your title CEO is also basically accepting a lot of the cultural baggage that comes with the term.

That's all it is, semantics and connotation. The person in charge of the whole thing is by definition CEO unless it's a board.

Semantics and connotation are important.

It's sad how few of you have taken the time to research or attempt to start a business. Of any sort.

People aren't evil for selling a service and registering it as a corporation which often requires a CFO and a CEO/President, even if the business has only a couple people. A lot of these businesses struggle financially just as much as any welfare recipient.

Do you think the only people who aren't evil are the non-industrious? It comes across as pathetic parasitic envy.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
