I suspect we’re going to see a lot more of this kind of thing e.g. this is currently at the top of GitHub trending

I’m not sure it ends well.

What do you mean about ending well?

The value to humanity of autonomous organisations optimising for profit is not super clear to me.

"With over 50 requests to invest in our new company, we had to filter for serious replies and ticket sizes that actually justified the time handling legal docs."

Why would someone invest in a random company with no real products and no real future? Is this something normal in USA? Should I launch a shopify with GPT integration and get a few $M in fundings?

It is a real company that already sells product and has tens of thousands of dollars in orders already, as well as a brand, a following and a community.

If you can get millions (they had 4 million views by day 3), of people to get excited about what you are building, it doesn’t matter too much what you are building, people will want to invest.

None of that is explained in the blog post. Looks like he's just setting up "the idea", let alone have already shipped a product.

If he collected "preorders" that's a different story.

At first I thought this was a dumb novelty stunt. I guess, I still think it is but at the meta level this is probably what is happening for dozens (hundreds) of companies. Likely people are starting small companies and basically intellectually abdicating many decisions to ChatGPT.

This guy takes it several steps farther in a pretty weird dystopian living art display; but effectively many tiny companies will be built like this I bet.

Already happening, checkout HustleGPT

It will be just about as accesible as my CEO.

I have a subscription, but the service is maddingly overloaded. Often you can't get in at all, or if you can response will frequently give errors. Data fails to load, network error, etc.

Judging from reddit, I'm not the only one it seems. I'm considering cancelling as it just brings headache. ChatGpt-3 works like a charm, but is considerably less helpful.

AI-run and AI managed companies are goign to attract a lot of workers in tech and services. workers will naturally choose a company that well defined objectives and values and that can prove with their metrics that they follow them. It will be the new Remote

Just wait until people start realizing that this is one of the original visions for Bitcoin (and hence, cryptocurrencies generally): autonomous agents, refining their own algorithms, competing in a global digital marketplace to provide services to both humans and computers alike.

I, for one, look forward to the day that the descendants of the first CEO-as-a-Service provide leadership and guidance that's objectively superior to human CEOs for just enough compensation to keep the instances running and perhaps spin off a couple of genetic offspring.

I'm not sure if I should add a "\s" or not, because I'm not sure if I'm being sarcastic.

Bitcoin is too rigid because it can't respond to economic cycles. But an AI-powered digital coin that is optimized for the specific goal of growth may be.

Why was this flagged?

Are people trying to block ChatGPT news or something?

As someone who works with chatGPT many hours a day and applies it to his startup, it can be an incredible resource when used correctly.

However this seems to be the most superficial application of the technology. He does little reasoning with it, little optionality. He hasn’t primed a ceo agent or constrained it in any meaningful way. It’s not hooked to anything. It seems to be more along the lines of “make a magic 8 ball my ceo” then use its advice to just coach me being ceo.

To be clear I think you can do something like this and it will work, but gpt vanilla isn’t the place to succeed with it.

What I’m building and using is a lot more like “cast 5 of the top CEOs based on their historical thinking and writing — then give me advice on x problem”. It seems to work a lot better as you get to participate in a human nodal walk to the decision by processing it through several “ceo nodes”. In the you make the call, not some weighted zero shot machine.

I'm building a tool to do just that too, something people can use without knowing what lang chain or haystack or llama index are.

Focusing more on the outside linkage or the constrained personas?

When you think about the role of a CEO, it is ultimately about making risk / reward calculations in an incomplete data environment. Of course AI should be able to do this better - it can ingest more data and make more accurate projections. The only thing missing is the 'inspirational leader' part but that's presuming there remain human workers left to that need inspiring.
