on Laid-Off Developers Create AI Model to Replace CEOs and Other Executives in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
That is the thing though, they don’t have any actual work. In theory, they simply ingest data and spit out logical decisions based on that data. In reality, the data has been so selectively filtered and manipulated at every layer of management on the way up that it becomes functionally meaningless. Executives are so bad at making the right decisions that their subordinates actively hide what’s really happening from them.
Further, executives serve no useful function beyond tricking employees into feeling like they matter and the company cares about them. This is why they have hour long all-hands meetings where they communicate no useful information but constantly repackage obvious business goals like “sell more stuff” as “increase sales velocity” because they think using the right keywords is the same thing as intelligence. This performative but ultimately useless behavior is the primary reason for their exorbitant salaries. They distract everyone from the reality that the company is stealing all the money the business generates.
Sum all that up and you get a superfluously verbose moron working with bad data to make decisions that have, at best, marginal impact on the stated goal of the organization and consumes a hugely inflated amount of resources in the process. That does sound like the perfect human equivalent of an LLM to me.

on Xbox lays off 268 more employees, merges Obsidian into Bethesda and puts Activision in charge of Halo in c/games@lemmy.world · 1d ago
They made awful games so who cares. I don’t think even Activision could have made it more like a Call of Duty clone than 343 did.

Sure, but if the law doesn’t stop them then somebody else is going to have to anyway.

The longer it takes for the justice system to do anything useful the more it feels like that’s exactly what we need.

on Terabytes of credentials leaked in massive supply-chain attack in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
It’s late and I’m tired so my math could be wrong but if they downloaded 195 TB in 40 minutes then the attacker is working with an internet connection that is at least 81.25 Gigabytes (not bits) per second. That isn’t a script kiddie. That’s serious business.
The unbounded profit motive, or more simply greed, ruins everything. This happens across time, continents, cultures, everything. It’s human nature, or at least common enough that we’ve never been able to do anything more than slow it down temporarily.
