But this is a strange reaction. I claim to think that people will solve things if they understand the problem. What makes the suits different?

Somehow, I excluded the execs from actual peoplehood. They are out there, making ignorable sounds like a radio, or doing random damage to infrastructure like a bad storm, but always without any real thinking going on. A bit like Eliza. Spending their time doing political feuds against other execs. Gathering more underlings or budget. Reorganizing people to other random corners of the buildings. Eating big dinners while talking to other execs. Creating a new C-suite job for someone they like.

Oh well, I'm probably cliche level wrong. Or maybe the AI people should target exec-level consciousness as a stepping stone to real-people consciousness ;-)
