wow, seems he still doesn't get it, maybe he's too wealthy to understand. (this article might actually be satire, i just realized)
exciting, bold proclamations from the techno-king might be really fun for him - but sound awfully different from out here.

Maybe this is what you were implying, but my guess is that if you were hanging out only in C-suite social circles in 2025, then you would think that "everyone" loved AI.

So true. Isn't it incredible also that no-one told him it might be a bad idea to replace people in a people focused business? That must be the main problem with surrounding yourself with 'yes, sir' types?

Too many dark triad personalities rise to be CEOs. Not surprising at all. Levels of psychopathy are the same in C-suites and prisons, which is about 5x higher than in the general population.
