Company owners does not really need to understand how their projects works under the root as long as they are smart enough to realise it and don’t cause a problem for their employees. That’s said at best they should have at least some ground knowledge about their projects just to not propose a conflicting ideas.

Describing every time why some idea conflicts with another one maid in past only slows down the developer work. If owner is kind and willing to understand it’s fine. However some people expect that developer would blindly implement something as they’re “paying for their work” and therefore they “see no problem”.

If I would be the CEO i.e. a person that many people look what I’m talking about then I would definitely say something that’s completely different:

The LLM is a very complex algorithm and although I don’t understand every aspect of it, I work closely with the developers, because we want to provide the best quality of our services.

Instead of that we’ve got:

People outside the field are often surprised and alarmed to learn that we do not understand how our own AI creations work. They are right to be concerned: this lack of understanding is essentially unprecedented in the history of technology

I sometimes feel that I woke up from an awesome heaven dream and land into a painful reality. Am I the crazy one who believes in “old & good business” dreams or is it another attempt to make people fear about LLM? What’s wrong with the business today? Why they still have funds after they scare the investors? Why it’s considered normal that people in the field takes it as a normal thing?

If I would fund something maybe I would not be interested in many aspects (especially if I would be a big player funding thousands of projects), but I would be definitely interested in what exactly I’m paying for. After such text I would do all I can to take back all the money and make sure that I would never fund any of this company’s project and anything that this CEO was ever touching.

Sure, I understand we don’t live in a world full of trust especially when we are talking about politicians or mainstream medias, but come on … it’s a business! How they can even work with absolutely no trust? In normal world what would you do if an employee would say that they have no idea what they are working on?
