Besides, if your company can be completely run by AI anyways, then congratulations, you just reached the end goal of open sourcing your company. Because why the heck won't anyone be able to replicate that quickly?

Yeah that's the thing these tech bros never seem to understand. It's obviously not going to work because if it did work it would have already been done by somebody else, it's called the Law Of Mediocrity. It's simply requires the base assumption that you are not the smartest person in the universe, which of course is where it all falls down, because they always assume they are.
