So their pitch is roughly “buy a successful saas company, get the humans to train an AI and then fire the humans, the (LLM) keeps the compmay running.

Now I thought this was laughable for about a second.

Then I remembered one of my maxims of management - that managers pretend they rank “hiring the best people” so that if things go wrong it was not the manager who failed to design a working system but that they hired the wrong people.

So imo management is building a system to run a company (/machine) - and that’s what’s happening here

It’s an awesome idea. I have no idea if it’s doable but even if you only need 10% of the humans to keep it ticking over there is a lot of white collar work about to become replaced
