There have been a couple of studies showing executive salary doesn't correlate to company performance. Those salaries increase because the execs are chosen from a shallow pool (the "experience needed" conundrum) and the boards who set the salaries don't really care about the price paid because they are ultimately not the ones paying the bill. And so we get execs who supervised massive losses getting paid golden parachutes in the tens of millions of dollars.

My brain is blown! We've got no imagination! They told us which jobs were at threat from AI and none of us questioned that! It's the executives and CEOs who can be replaced by a formula! Frost, you nailed it!

I never wanted to be a CEO or anything like that. With big power comes big responsibility and the stress would crush me. I guess that says something about what kind of person (or attitude) it takes to thrive in such positions. It always makes me wonder if we would have to deal with this kind of mess if we developed at a slower pace - if the evolution of our brains gave them the time to adapt to having this much power, instead of doing the equivalent of giving a loaded gun to a toddler. Maybe we would have created a society that values responsibility and the long-term prosperity of the collective, instead of one where psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists can abuse our caveman instincts to secure personal gains at a disproportionate costs to literally the entire world without a shred of remorse.
