Bill Burr is pitching a different use for artificial intelligence: point it at the top of the org chart.
The comedian made the case during a sit-down with Rolling Stone, pointing out that it makes way more sense to create AI CEOs instead of AI workers, considering the fact that companies will save way more.
"All this AI is to replace working people. It's like, why don't you make an AI CEO that's empathetic, that cares about the middle class and the future of the planet?" the comedian asked.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
"They're making way more. You take that guy's salary versus all the work. You're going to save way more money replacing one guy," Burr continued. "Why don't you do that? Because it's not for us, it's for them."

President Trump gathered top artificial intelligence leaders in Washington on Tuesday and doubled down on his opposition to government intervention, suggesting that "self-regulation" is the answer to growing worries about the technology getting out of human control.
"There's a belief that there should be tremendous self-regulation," the president said after meeting with the ***** embled CEOs. "There was a lot of commonality in this room."
Trump said he and the CEOs signed a "morally binding" accord that would keep the companies in line through "self-policing and group policing."
Trump posted a copy of the accord to his Truth Social account with a one-page document that called for each participating company to implement four different measures to safeguard the technology and added that, later on, "it might make sense to codify these steps into laws or regulations."
Some executives on hand said the accord included commitments to a combination of technological controls to detect problems with new models, internal risk review efforts, external auditors, and other measures.

For months, economists and retailers have warned about the financial strain facing lower- and middle-income consumers. Higher earners, on the other hand, have largely been sheltered from the effects of the rising costs of living.
But that may be changing.
A growing number of CEOs and industry insiders, from retailers as varied as Walmart and ThredUp, have said they're seeing shifts in the behavior of consumers earning $100,000 a year or more.
Dollar General's CEO Todd Vasos is the latest to join that growing chorus.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Global Consumer and Retail conference, Vasos said it's no longer the chain's core consumer base (low- and middle-earners) who are feeling the financial strain.

US stocks were mixed on Friday as investors continued to calibrate to the Federal Reserve's first rate hike in three years and existential fears about artificial intelligence's capabilities.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) rose 0.4% but ended the week in green. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose 0.2% but eked out a loss for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was down 0.2% and lost more than 1.5% for the week.
The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) rose 5 basis points to hover near the 5% level as traders increased bets that the Fed will raise rates again in October.
Markets appeared to look past the Fed's 25 basis point rate hike this week, which was widely expected. US stock continued to climb after the Bank of ***** an raised interest rates to the highest level in 31 years.
However, ***** ysts and top CEOs aren't convinced that one rate hike (by the Fed) will be enough to bring down stubbornly high inflation. "It's not clear to me we've slayed inflation," JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told Yahoo Finance this week.

Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:PLTR) CEO Alex Karp just added a third front to the fight over artificial intelligence (AI) safety on Thursday, arguing that the companies developing the technology -- the Anthropics and OpenAI's of the world -- should face civil and criminal penalties if AI causes the damage their CEOs are warning of.
Speaking with CNBC, Karp said that he agreed that "reasonable guidelines" for the industry should be enforced, but that "you can't do it" and that "the first line of defense" instead should be to hold companies and their leaders responsible for their own actions.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Karp was weighing in on an ongoing and high-profile debate within the industry. After Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei penned an essay warning that AI capabilities were improving too quickly for researchers to understand and control them and that action must be taken to ensure the public's safety, he was joined by several AI leaders with calls for a slowdown and increased oversight.
Here's a look at what they had to say:

Become a CEO after your MBA: that's the promise some private equity firms are using to recruit top operating talent.
This promise propels the best and brightest into top executive roles without requiring them to climb the corporate ladder, underpinned by the belief that cultivating talent is a better bet than making semi-blind bets on external hires.
Alpine Investors and Shore Capital Partners have each built separate pipelines to funnel operational talent, aiming to equip executives to take charge of their portfolio companies.
Lower-middle-market buyout firm Shore Capital Partners runs what it calls its CXO program, a two-year training scheme that places early- to mid-career talent and recent MBA grads into C-suite-adjacent roles at its portfolio companies—typically chief of staff or vice president of business operations or strategic initiatives.
Top-performing CXO graduates then have the chance to be promoted to C-level positions. So far, Shore has produced four CEOs from the CXO program. This includes Mark Larsen, who has been CEO of medical software business Connexure since 2024.

Dire warnings on AI from the CEOs of Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) and OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) could weigh especially heavily on the business of CoreWeave if the tech is reined in.
"The most exposed name in our coverage is CoreWeave," Bernstein ******* yst Madison Rezaei wrote in a note on Monday. "We estimate that 25% of their existing active U.S. power, with an additional ~74% of their contracted power, is situated in Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets. The backlog is primarily comprised of take-or-pay contracts, so we do not anticipate a threat there, but could see a pullback in demand for the contracted, not-yet-sold rural power if training development slows."
CoreWeave shares fell nearly 7% in premarket trading, one of the worst slides in the AI stock patch on the fresh CEO warnings.
Within the course of two days, AI ******* ans at Anthropic (ANTH.PVT), CEO Dario Amodei, and OpenAI (OPAI.PVT), CEO Sam Altman, have managed to scare the ******* out of the human race with the powerful technology they created and pushed their teams full of pioneering super-coders to supercharge.
"Over the last few months, I have become convinced that fully addressing the risks requires even more prudence — not just investing in risk prevention, but pacing the rate of capabilities advancement so that risk prevention has time to keep up," Amodei stated in a 3,800-word essay on Saturday. "We must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of A.I. models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain."

The conference's 16 CEOs met virtually to decide whether or not the league could subject LSU football and head coach Lane Kiffin to punitive damages after the program's pursuit of trying to add former professional athletes to its roster.
After discussions, the SEC announced that no action was going to be taken against LSU at this time.

Partners Group is replacing its CEO after reporting mixed interim results amid redemption pressure on its evergreen products.
David Layton, who has been the sole CEO since 2021 and with the firm since 2005, will step down to become CIO and chair of the global investment committee.
Roberto Cagnati and Juri Jenkner, both hired in 2004, will take over as co-CEOs Jan. 1.
Cagnati most recently ran portfolio solutions and served as chief risk officer, while Jenkner most recently served as president after heading both infrastructure and private credit earlier.
The change comes as Partners, which manages total ****** ets of $186 billion, announces mixed interim results. While the group saw record fundraising—with clients committing $16 billion to the firm, up from $12.2 billion a year earlier— profit fell 13% to 502 million Swiss francs (about $620 million).

Just when we thought festival season was over, Olivia Rodrigo flipped it and reversed it with Daisy Chain Fields. If Rodrigo's look at the press conference and the merch that she released ahead of the festival were any indication, we were already in for a treat when it comes to fashion, and now that stars are actually taking to the stage at Great Park in Irvine, California, the style inspo is only getting better.
One of the most anticipated acts of the day, both performance- and fashion-wise, was KATSEYE. However, it was announced just days before the festival that the group had dropped out after Megan sprained her ankle, resulting in Devon Again joining the lineup to replace them. Still, Megan herself (with a Coach Tabby in tow), Yoonchae, and Lara made the trek to the venue to greet festival-goers and introduce Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein , the CEOs of nonprofit Baby2Baby, on stage.
See the video.
So far, only a handful of performers on the all-female lineup have graced the stage, but they have all dressed to the nines for the occasion. Whether you are headed to other festivals around the world later in the year, looking for ideas to wear to any upcoming concerts, eyeing some back-to-school inspiration, or simply want to see what your favorite stars are wearing, we are compiling all of the celeb looks at the Daisy Chain Fields music festival below.

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella has enjoyed a tremendous increase in his total compensation over the past decade, with his pay rising from just $18 million in 2015 to $96.5 million at the end of fiscal 2025. That has made him one of the world's highest-paid CEOs.
The massive jump was the result of more than 95% of Nadella's pay being directly tied to performance stock units linked to Microsoft's shares. The better Microsoft stock performs, the higher Nadella's compensation becomes.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
With Microsoft's stock surging 942% since 2015, it's no wonder Nadella's pay has accelerated. And as impressive as his pay is, the two reasons for Microsoft's growth over the past decade or so have been equally as remarkable.
When Nadella took over Microsoft in 2014, he famously shifted the company's focus to what he called a "mobile first, cloud first" approach. That meant funneling talent and capital into the company's cloud computing services, particularly Azure.

Selena Gomez has filed to dismiss the fraud lawsuit against her.
Gomez's lawyer, Mathew S Rosengart, submitted a motion on Wednesday to dismiss the lawsuit brought by Wondermind investors earlier this month, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly magazine.
The Only Murders in the Building star has denied allegations made by investors that she falsely represented the mental health startup's infrastructure, leadership and resources.
"Ms Gomez agreed to support her mother ,Mandy Teefey, who co-founded Wondermind," the filing read.
"Although she invested in and holds a minority stake in the Company, Ms Gomez never agreed to and did not manage the Company. Management was vested in Ms Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, and Ms Pierson, who ran the Company as co-CEOs and board members. The Company, in turn, retained Ms Gomez as a consultant and conferred on her the ***** le of Chief Impact Officer."
Accusations that Gomez duped investors into putting $1.2 million (£890,000) into Wondermind were made in a lawsuit filed on 13 August, on behalf of a group of five investors who are seeking the return of the money they put into the skittled project.

What did Target, Starbucks, and Nike have in common barely a year ago? All three consumer icons had freshly announced new CEOs, which were wrongly greeted with hasty skepticism from ***** ysts. Target's Michael Fiddelke was scoffed at as an uninspired insider; Nike's Elliott Hill was underestimated as a nostalgia hire, unable to stem Nike's loss of market share, while questions abounded over whether Brian Niccol could actually turn around Starbucks amidst pervasive in-store service struggles, despite his sterling record at Chipotle.
We saw it differently. At the time of their appointments, we vocally and presciently touted all three new CEOs as the right person for the job at the right time, while other ***** ysts rolled their eyes. Unlike the frequent, sometime successful model of the messianic hiring of industry outsiders as turnaround tians, these new CEOs hit the ground running as each had decades of experience in their sectors with glowing track records, priceless relationships, and balanced expertise across marketing, finance, strategy, and operations,.
Furthermore, we were the first to confidently predict the certainty of their success, even knowing that it would take some time to reposition their enterprises and for their new leadership to gain traction. Now the receipts are in, showing striking progress in all three cases, with each already well on their way to cementing their reputations as the architects of some of the most remarkable corporate turnarounds of our era.
When Michael Fiddelke, a Target lifer who had risen up the ranks from a lowly intern over two decades ago, was named CEO, cynics sneered that the board had chosen entrenched groupthink over fresh blood. We argued precisely the opposite—that the data overwhelmingly shows internal candidates outperform splashy external saviors, with insider CEOs appointed over the prior year delivering roughly 15% annualized shareholder returns while external hires averaged negative 9%. New brooms sweep clean, but the old broom knows the corners. Furthermore, we argued that Fiddelke was uniquely positioned to build on the many successes of his widely admired predecessor, Brian Cornell, despite simultaneous urgent challenges.
This week brought resounding vindication. Target's second-quarter sales jumped 5.3%, digital sales grew nearly 9%, Target raised its full-year outlook for the second consecutive quarter, and the stock soared nearly 5%. Indeed, on a year to date basis, Target stock has soared nearly 60%.

At the time of their appointments, we vocally and presciently touted all three new CEOs as the right person for the job at the right time, while other ***** ysts rolled their eyes. Unlike the frequent, sometime successful model of the messianic hiring of industry outsiders as turnaround tians, these new CEOs hit the ground running as each had decades of experience in their sectors with glowing track records, priceless relationships, and balanced expertise across marketing, finance, strategy, and operations,.
Furthermore, we were the first to confidently predict the certainty of their success, even knowing that it would take some time to reposition their enterprises and for their new leadership to gain traction. Now the receipts are in, showing striking progress in all three cases, with each already well on their way to cementing their reputations as the architects of some of the most remarkable corporate turnarounds of our era.
When Michael Fiddelke, a Target lifer who had risen up the ranks from a lowly intern over two decades ago, was named CEO, cynics sneered that the board had chosen entrenched groupthink over fresh blood. We argued precisely the opposite—that the data overwhelmingly shows internal candidates outperform splashy external saviors, with insider CEOs appointed over the prior year delivering roughly 15% annualized shareholder returns while external hires averaged negative 9%. New brooms sweep clean, but the old broom knows the corners. Furthermore, we argued that Fiddelke was uniquely positioned to build on the many successes of his widely admired predecessor, Brian Cornell, despite simultaneous urgent challenges.
This week brought resounding vindication. Target's second-quarter sales jumped 5.3%, digital sales grew nearly 9%, Target raised its full-year outlook for the second consecutive quarter, and the stock soared nearly 5%. Indeed, on a year to date basis, Target stock has soared nearly 60%.

Iran-linked hackers are suspected of forcing a small British power generator offline for four days last month, the latest sign that Tehran-linked cyber activity may be moving from probing vulnerable systems to causing disruptions U.S. officials have long warned about.
Iran-linked hackers were behind the outage, according to British security officials who spoke with multiple news outlets.
"To be clear: there was no threat to the wider grid and ******* ody lost power. We have one of the most resilient energy systems in the world," UK Energy Minister Michael Shanks said in a statement.
He described the generator as "tiny" but said his department had briefed CEOs following the intrusion on "steps they should take to stay secure."

For a man reportedly worth more than $10 billion, entrepreneur Mark Cuban spends a lot of time talking about wealth inequality—and how to distribute it more evenly.
The 'Shark Tank' star has long shared suggestions—and has enacted his plans—to better balance income throughout the U.S. economy. One of Cuban's ideas was to give employees company stock: he told a recent episode of the 'What It Takes' podcast that he awarded 330 employees at his media company, Broadcast.com, stock ahead of Yahoo's $5.7 billion acquisition of the company in 1999. Three hundred of those employees became millionaires as a result, he said.
Cuban also awarded equity and cash bonuses to employees of his first IT consulting company, MicroSolutions.
But the famed investor has now taken the suggestion a step further: If founders and CEOs don't seek to share the wealth generated by their companies with their employees, they should be forced to give back to society by paying higher corporate taxes.
Writing on X, the cofounder of online pharmacy Cost Plus Drugs, was asked what his plan would be to reduce wealth inequality across the country. He responded: "Increase the taxes of any company that doesn't offer equity to every employee on a pro rata basis to non-founder executives. If they get rich from the market, so do they.
"It's exactly what I have done for employees in companies I have started. Most wealthy people get that way from selling their companies or taking them public."
While Cuban proposes increased taxes as a motivator to get business leaders to share equity more broadly, a criticism of higher taxes (and tariffs, as consumers have learned the hard way) is that increases to company costs are often passed back to customers and ultimately the public. This represents a further stretch on budgets of consumers already dealing with above-target inflation, and without the boon of company stock to fall back on.

NEW YORK, Aug 5 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is urging corporate leaders to join a U.S.-focused industry group to address risks posed by AI, as corporate America rapidly adopts the developing technology, two sources familiar with the matter said.
Dimon has personally reached out to CEOs of other large and major regional banks and IT companies to enlist them in the initiative, which he is expanding from a group that JPM helped found called the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure, the sources said.
The ACI and Dimon have also communicated with other prospective members in an effort to schedule calls in August to discuss collaboration, the sources said.
The outreach, which started in July, includes over 40 companies spanning financial services, energy, water, utilities, telecommunications, airlines, railroads and other critical infrastructure industries that rely heavily on technology, the sources said. The ACI has not disclosed results of the effort so far.

July 30 (Reuters) - OpenAI slashed prices of its low- and mid-tier AI models on Thursday, a move that may intensify competition in the industry as U.S. companies battle cheaper Chinese rivals for customers increasingly wary of the technology's ballooning costs.
The ChatGPT maker lowered the cost of its smaller GPT-5.6 Luna model by 80% and its mid-tier Terra by 20%, while leaving the price of its biggest and flagship Sol model unchanged.
The cuts show that rising cost scrutiny by businesses facing hefty AI bills is forcing American labs to rethink pricing. Many tech CEOs have also said in recent months that cheaper AI options are key to the technology's widespread adoption.
OpenAI's new pricing also turns up the heat on Anthropic, whose Claude models dominate enterprise and developer use but sit at the costlier end of the market. Both companies have been under pressure from open-source Chinese rivals such as Z.ai's GLM-5.2 that nearly match their performance at a lower cost.
Analysts have said that cutting prices could boost usage of OpenAI's and Anthropic's technology, but strain their finances ahead of highly anticipated initial public offerings.

JPMorgan Chase(NYSE: JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon recently gave a provocative interview with a CNBC podcast. On Monday, Dimon effectively said that he wouldn't buy most stocks right now at today's high valuations.
Even if Dimon is somewhat bearish on the stock market, that doesn't mean everyday investors should be. For one thing, Jamie Dimon is a billionaire, and he's getting closer to retirement; his investment goals and time horizon are probably a lot different from yours. And perhaps even more important: No one knows how to time the market, not even the CEOs of major banks.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Even if you share Dimon's concerns that some stock valuations are too high, that doesn't mean you should stop investing. Let's look at three exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that might be good choices for non-billionaire, long-term investors.
Even if valuations are high, it's almost always a good idea for long-term investors to keep buying a broadly diversified stock market index fund like the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (NYSEMKT: VTI). This Vanguard ETF holds a portfolio of 3,531 U.S. stocks of companies of all sizes (large cap, mid cap, and small cap) and charges an ultralow expense ratio of 0.03%.
