Remember everybody, if you’re going to do fraud, don’t talk about it to your friendly neighborhood surveillance company!

It blows my mind just how unimaginably stupid some of these CEO's actually are. Tell us again, how the best and brightest, naturally rise to the top. I've known janitors with more common sense than this.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 63 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Many of them jump ship and keep working as CEOs, dooming dozens of companies as they bank millions in pay.

I've worked with a couple people like this. They'll come in bragging about their (actually) impressive résumé. There will be a honeymoon phase where everyone is convinced Mr. Fancy Résumé will change the world. A year or two will go by and everyone will realize they are the embodiment of capitalism. All confidence, importance and big talk on the outside, actually dumb and ineffective on the inside. Gilded, you could say. They get wind that their time may be up, quit, put their new badge on their résumé and starting fucking the next one. All that is to say there are a lot of people out there who are great at building a résumé, but not actually great at doing any work.

When the AI chatbot responded that the earnout would be “difficult to cancel,” the ruling read, Kim didn’t accept the answer. He pushed further—and the chatbot obliged with a detailed, multi-stage corporate takeover strategy dubbed “Project X.”

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 98 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Project X, not at all childish or anything 😆

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

It's also a great emotionally crushing movie starring Matthew Broderick training chimps to fly planes.

Project X

Sounds like a teenager's ambitious ideas lol.

[–] DarkSirrush@piefed.ca 50 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Musk is obsessed with the letter X, he probably told grok to always use it,,and that leaked to chatgpt because the plagiarism bots all plagiarise each other.

It is so unbelievably ludicrous why these giants feel so compelled to keep gaining as much money as they can when they could already retire several lifetimes' worth. Greed is truly a mental illness.

[–] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 month ago (9 children)

I don't get it. If I somehow ended up with enough money to not have to work the rest of my life I'd buy a decently nice house and and a newer sedan so that it's reliable, keep working part time in my field because I genuinely love it, spend more time on my hobbies, and do all the traveling I've been dreaming of but too broke to do my entire life.

If I had a ludicrous amount of money I'd have a serious thought about how many normal people I could help and how and who I wanted to help. I'd love to set up a scholarship fund for adults going back to school (any school), but I'd also love to help adults in underdeveloped nations starting a business, and I'd love to work with medical charities, and I'd love to help underprivileged children get educated, and there's so many things I'd love to do to help people's lives get better.

Scheming on how to steal more money from ordinary people would be the last thing on my list!

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

That's why you'll never have those options the only way togrt that much money us to exploit and steal and be a bastard

Why is no one using their full name? How do you embarrass anyone or hold them accountable if you didn't even say their name?

There can’t be that many CEOs of Krafton… it’s not really a mystery who it is

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have no interest in learning the names of every CEO. Publish the names when they are caught doing something shitty so everyone recognizes it as an asshole

How does a person this fucking stupid become a CEO of any company? Jesus fucking Christ.

Because we don't promote those with worthwhile talents, the grifters find their way in and fail upwards.

Privilege. That's the entire thing. Meritocracy is a lie.

They wouldn't be CEO unless they had the parasitic impulse. If they wanted to make things or facilitate people there are way better positions to do that from

Haven't thought avout that before-- all the AI users are making their intent and actions clear when they use it. That's valuable if they get sued or need to be held accountable.

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

Oh, of course. This is why people use the offline models in Ollama, LM Studio, Jan, etc. I even know a guy who is training his own fully offline LLM. FOSS is generally the safest way to go, hence Lemmy, Linux, etc.

He always had a full legal team at his disposal. But he not only didn't consult them, he completely ignored their warnings, fully trusting the sycophancy machine.

I guess the obvious question is "Did that include CEO bonuses as well?". Those bonuses are the artificially gigantic ones given to scavenger/predators who hurt their own employees to benefit the shareholders.

[–] III@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I still don't understand the justification for CEO bonuses. They provide zero value to the company and shareholders. They are signing away money to an individual with zero return. Aside from motivating them to do the job they are already paid for...

So should I now buy it or not?

I love Unknown Worlds since Natural Selection but absolutely despise Krafton.

[–] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Buy it until their sales numbers get to about 3 million units where sold where the devs bonus starts to cap out. Apparently the devs get $3.12 for every dollar in sales past around $70 million and their total bonuses cap out at $250 million.

If you really want to royally screw Krafton over while making sure the devs get the maximum payout, hoist the colors when they announce 3 million total units sold 🏴‍☠️

What?!?! The Subnautica people are the same who made Natural Selection?!??

I LOOOOVED Natural Selection!! I’d always play as an alien.. creeping through the ceiling 🤣 The hive mind concept visualized through the "wall hack" was so well done, but the RTS element of the humans was also SUPER original and both sides contrasted each other perfectly

If they didn't have the chat logs, would the CEO have won?

[–] Sv443@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He fired them under false accusations (of not working on the game and instead working on other projects) so no, don't think so.
