Accounting:
Intuit products. They mislead people into thinking they are saving money by not paying an accountant or taking a class or two at the community college.
Depending on the situation, it can result in heavy fines and fees when the books or tax returns need to be corrected.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Can LLMs Do Accounting? Evaluating LLMs on Real Long-Horizon Business TasksEnglish
11·8 months agoI quit my job in public accounting for many reasons, but the primary one was the forceful adoption of LLMs to replace associates.
I told the dimwits at the top that it was a mistake, because LLMs are incompetent even when the information fed to it was perfect, and that was rarely the case in practice.
Our ultra wealthy clients were notorious for giving us the most incomplete and asinine information, and it often took someone with decades of experience to decipher what the fuck their personal assistants are even talking about.
They went ahead anyway because of the high cost of wages, of course, and I made my exit because I did not wish to be complicit in such a monumental mistake.
Lmfao the LLM they laid associates off and paid half a million dollars for made up fake ledger accounts when accounts didn’t reconcile, and none of the dumbasses left noticed in time because they hadn’t done associate-level work in decades.
It also lied all the time, even when you asked it not to.
The damage was done and the biggest clients started leaving, so they begged us all to come back but I got obsessed with baking bread and I ain’t about to neglect my sourdough starters to help a group of people who would lose a battle of wits against yeast.

It’s also not a zero sum game, we need quality leaders at all levels-- mayors, directors, board members, senators, etc.

We’d suffer massive losses from being cut off from interstate trade agreements.

I think it’s waaaay easier to just oust the current leadership and remove all the Congress members that aided and abetted.

2·9 months agoIt’s for situations when you are observing incoming traffic to evaluate opportunities to safely cross paths with it:
The notion behind front brake lights is deceptively simple. By signaling to oncoming traffic and vehicles approaching from the side, a front brake light provides an essential visual cue that a car is slowing down or preparing to stop. When the light is extinguished, it indicates that a stationary vehicle might initiate movement.

22·10 months agoThe wording you chose did not adequately reflect that you were referring to the CEO.
Rather, it sounds like you are criticizing the OP for sharing an article you do not understand or agree with, as it invited no discourse and only served to criticize, similar to the comments regularly posted below news articles.
I do agree fully with you that CEOs rarely do work of any value, and their role is basically to siphon money from an organization like the parasites they are.
