Build your own Boss

On this Valentine’s day where people are looking for companionship and comfort, I’m trying to think of the coldest thing possible! In an era where technology has eroded middle-class jobs, isn’t it about time it did the same to the upper crust of our society?

Machines could be more analytical than any business owner could ever hope to be. A machine is far less corruptable. It isn’t driven by greed, or any sort of “alpha” mentality – it makes the most logical decisions that lead to the best decision for the company. A machine doesn’t need to make a ballsy move to impress anyone, it doesn’t have anything to prove. A machine could process data thousands of times faster and simplify processes in a way no human being could. It would cut down bureaucracy, there wouldn’t be needs for meetings, or or discssions. Decisions would be made, workers would act.

What if an organization of workers united under their robotic overlord and founded a “leaderless” company? Imagine a company where all employees are equal, there is no hirearchy, the machine decides the tasks at hand, the workers build out the orders at a factory, ship out the finished product, and share in the profits. Imagine how well off banks and auto manufacturers would be if it wasn’t unbalanced by guys at the top getting multi-million dollar bonuses, and the guys at the bottom earning a “decent living” at $18 an hour. I feel like the future is upon us, and it might be time to use machines for more than replacing our physical labor force.
