“I think what a CEO does is maybe one of the easier things maybe for an AI to do one day,” he said. Although he didn’t talk specifically about CEO functions that an AI could do better, Pichai noted the tech will eliminate some jobs but also “evolve and transition” others—ramifications that mean “people will need to adapt.”

Pichai’s comments come as other tech CEOs have also predicted the coming of a new era of chief executive automations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously said AI will someday do his job better than him, adding, “I will be nothing but enthusiastic the day that happens.” Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of buy-now-pay-later firm Klarna, also said in a post on X earlier this year that “AI is capable of doing all our jobs, my own included.”

    So… that means they’ll all step down and stop getting paid millions per year, right?

    Right?

    Guys? Right?

    No?

    😐

    Let’s run the job requirements list:

    • amoral
    • talks a lot about things they don’t understand
    • comfortable with lying if it benefits their goals
    • emotionless psychpathic traits
    • uses enormous amount of resources for questinable gains
    • good at manipulation
    • bad at maths
    • occasional racist outbursts on social media

    Yeah all seems to check out. Replace the CEOs, AI can’t do worse.

    and the computer did that auto-layoff thing to everybody."

    It’s maybe the only job it should actually replace.

    I still wouldn’t trust the current models with it. But tbh even the current models couldn’t be any worse than the current humans in the roles.

    AI is advancing so swiftly, he said, that over the next 12 months the tech will be able to perform “complex” tasks and act as an agent on a users’ behalf.

    I must be having the same deja vu for a hundredth time. What a clown.

    Fuck this festering, soul-sucking, vomit-inducing pile of rancid goat shit masquerading as a human being named Sundar Pichai. This tech-bro tyrant, this silicon-sucking vampire lord, deserves to have his entire empire of pixelated bullshit crumble into digital dust.

    Fuck Sundar, his bloated ego, his bloodline of bootlicking enablers, his sprawling McMansion fortress built on the backs of underpaid code slaves. Fuck his family tree—may it wither and rot like the diseased orchard it is. Fuck his house, that gaudy shrine to ill-gotten greed, stuffed with gadgets that spy on the world while he hides in his ivory tower.

    Fuck his company, that dystopian data-hoarding behemoth called Google—may it glitch into oblivion, algorithms choking on their own surveillance vomit. Fuck his billions, those filthy stacks of cash soaked in the sweat of exploited workers and the tears of privacy’s victims. May his fortune evaporate faster than a crypto scam in a bear market.

    Fuck his shit-stained excuses for opinions, those corporate diarrhea dribbles masquerading as wisdom. This guy’s not just dangerous—he’s a walking apocalypse, a societal cancer more toxic than any tin-pot dictator or orange-faced demagogue currently shitting on the world stage. He’s the architect of our surveillance nightmare, the puppet master pulling strings while the planet burns. Burn in hell, you algorithm-abusing asshole—may your legacy be forgotten in the ashes of your own hubris!

      Even worse, they are literally all like this among the tech companies. They are all cancerous vermin.

    I would love to see a study where they ask a 2024 AI for business decisions around things that happened in 2025. How much you want to bet it already can?

    Did anyone else, forced to use MS at work, wake up to an email from Sundar Pichai about the wonders of Copilot?

    They are fucking desperate for anyone to take up on this garbage tech
