Turn it around - employ "copilot-boss" for your business and stay a grey eminence. Perhaps a lot of indie devs hate executive and managerial stuff, then what if AEO could lead the business execution while being fed with some minimal project outcome objectives from the technicaly focused dev.

I think this actually an untapped direction more of us should explore. Maybe use change your OpenClaw from an Executive Assistant, to your Manager on the topics you are weak at.

I agree, fire the CEO. But I have a slightly different take that doesn't involve AI. What if we indeed get rid of the entire C-suite? Even better still: why are companies and orgs hierarchical? Why is there always a - for lack of a better word - dictator in charge? AI CEO is still an AI dictator. We are permitted to vote, but democracy in everyday life, that's a bridge too far, chaos, riots in the streets, cats and d…

There's really quite a lack of innovation in corporate structures. I (still) believe that we're going to see a rejection of this MBA-short-term-fuck-the-long-term thinking, and next-gen companies will form treat their employees like the adults they are. That employee goodwill and motivation will make them outpeform the current system. Thnk of the opposite of work-to-rule or 'quiet quitting': An actual motivated workf…

I agree, but I don’t care about performance, just that we do and build things we need and nothing more. We don’t need to stripmine the entire world for profit.

My theory is that you can replace everyone with AI as long as the result (for each) is obviously better. To replace management the main edge seems to be that AI can read everything and talk to everyone all of the time. You don't need meetings if it remembers everything everyone said and is available for debate until the deadline. If someone feels the need to go all out bike-shed they can do it on their own. A different edge the AI has is that it can write everything into policy. Saves a lot of tokens.

Oh you know this for an irrefutable fact, now?

Yes. It's the kind of thing stated by people who have never run a business.

You seem less deductive in your reasoning than desired for a good faith discussion, and pathological in your baseless accusations.

For example, I have run my own business before I hired people.

Good faith discussion? Your reply to me was "Oh you know this for an irrefutable fact, now?". What discussion is there to be had from a sarcastic quip that deliberately misses the point?

If you want to good faith discussion, address the substance of my comment.
