I think this actually an untapped direction more of us should explore. Maybe use change your OpenClaw from an Executive Assistant, to your Manager on the topics you are weak at.

I love the idea of someone wrting an AI SaaS that does jailtime for you.

The hard truth is that the technical solution really is a piece of the overall puzzle to what makes success, and its easy for technical people to overvalue it. I think we're seeing a bit of it in the current AI question of "If vibecoding is so damn good, where are all the vibe coding SaaS's?" The answer is that the code wasn't the entire answer, its the business and distribution around it as well.

One aspect the AxO would address, is the idea that the CEO is some sort of all-knowing, all-seeing, smartest-guy-in-the-room type that is so special and unique, they deserve it all and more.

It sorta breaks the CEO job into component parts which theoretically would reduce the executive compensations as the the replacement system is more interchangable.

There's really quite a lack of innovation in corporate structures.

I (still) believe that we're going to see a rejection of this MBA-short-term-fuck-the-long-term thinking, and next-gen companies will form treat their employees like the adults they are.

That employee goodwill and motivation will make them outpeform the current system. Thnk of the opposite of work-to-rule or 'quiet quitting': An actual motivated workforce.

I enjoy doing actual tech thought-experiment like this, so not a troll.

Everyone just accepts that software engineers are going to be pandhandling in the street for free API tokens, but what if the prevalent attitude was to start from the top down?

I'd love to know if the people responsible for 'Responsible Gaming' actually think it has an impact or if they're just enjoying the stable income and performative nature of the job.

In Ontario, we have Jon Hamm next to sports cars and supermodels telling us about betting limits. Everyone in the 'regulation chain' makes money on the back of the people who actually need the help. It's awful.
