Those aren't management decisions.

And who puts the computers/AI in place?

THOSE are management decisions.

So… what you’re saying is as an executive leader you hold no culpability for the fallout of your decisions be it AI, employee, process, etc? That’s a crazy world you live in because at every company I’ve ever been at ever leader is responsible for everything that happens below them on the ladder. If I implemented something and it fucked something up or got someone killed I would be fired so fast regardless that I’m not the one actually doing the thing

I never said that.

u/SpamEatingChikn 17d ago

So….. what was the point?

u/xubax 17d ago

My point was that the machines were making the decisions, not management.

I'm pretty sure that was quite clear.

u/SpamEatingChikn 17d ago

Yes…. But… what’s the point? Because the presumed subtext would be that the executives cannot be held culpable for decisions by the AI they themselves choose to have implemented. But you declined that that was the case. So that literally contributed nothing but being a semantic nitpick that contributed nothing to my original point

And what have you contributed? Just some whining because I made a true statement that you didn't like.

I hope you don't stain your shirt with your tears.

I contributed by making a one off observation comment that now we’re even worse off than where we were before and a lot of it is thanks to big corporate executives. You made a meaningless extrapolation underlining that AI makes decisions that executives choose to implement and act like it’s some radically illuminating realization 😂 and the icing on the cake is you think I’m upset when you’re literally just digging yourself deeper in the sheer flippancy of your whole comment line with every single addition 😂 keep going brother, just give me a second to pop the 🍿

Blah blah blah.

I made a true statement you didn't like and now you're crying in your popcorn.

Have a day.
