Executives, especially CEOs, get paid huge amounts of money to make obvious, costly errors. Their main skill seems to be bullshitting.

"Two out of three chief executives are buying a tool they cannot evaluate, cutting staff on capability claims they cannot verify and calling the result a strategy. On a conference stage, this is called vision. On a balance sheet, it is called an unfunded liability."

Every one has stated that AI is not the panacea that Melon Husk and Some Althuman have been pretending it is. So why are World Leaders still drinking the Kool-aid? Are they just taking the money? Or are they advised by the deluded and invested? WHY has Mark Carney not read this article?

There always seem to be plenty of people jabbering about how CEOs are stupid, talentless, etc.

But, oddly, somehow, none of them seem to take those jobs and do them any better, for less money. Not even once.

Odd.
