    The actual interview is him talking about how AI is revolutionizing the company, including a slack chat bot that he says is generating 50% of there PRs, and he’s very excited to see where it goes.

    He mentions one issue they have had with it and the article takes that and extrapolates that he thinks there whole AI push was a mistake, he doesn’t

      Yeah, i looked up before i saw your comment and came to the same conclusion. It discredits Futurism quite a bit in my eyes.

          True, but these is a difference between a click baity title and ripping a quote out of context and pretending somebody holds the opposite possition as they have in reality.

    Estimates found workers already waste 3.4 hours a month cleaning up the AI schlock, amounting to a monthly loss of $8.1 million for a workplace with 10,000 employees.

    Yes. AI harms productivity.

    “You don’t really read it, and now it has to be reviewed by your colleagues, and they are like, ‘this doesn’t look right,'” he complained. “You’re just letting AI do the work for you.”

    I want shopify to fail so badly. This piece of shit is a filthy American boot licker and wants to change Canadas voting policy to allow the rich to have more votes.

    I wish incurable dick cancer on him.

    Oh this fucking idiot. Every time I see a CEO open their mouth it ends up being stunningly informative regarding the connections we presume between intelligence, merit and wealth. Take is hoarded money away, reinvest it in education and health care systems, and make him work like the rest of the wagies for a while instead of wasting all that time speculating which yacht to buy next. It’ll humanize him.

    CEO baffled to learn that his employees do the things he pays them to do, in the manner in which he tells them to do them…

    … and that extremely overgrown autocomplete algorithim != human cognition+action.

    Addendum: Didn’t realize BatBoy from the Weekly World News had become a tech bro CEO… why the fuck not, at this point?

      This is inevitably what happens when you create a “leadership” class that doesn’t do actual work and has no idea how the actual work is done.

    Also the billionaire CEO of shopify champions the movement of stripping voting rights from most people and giving the ultra-wealthy extra votes.

    So every time you use shopify, know what your money is getting used for.
