i'm going to take a random guess that the ones that got armed bodyguards likely did something terrible that makes them know it's worth it

Do we hate just the execs, or the ai engineers too? Ones using ai to engineer, or the ones engineering it? And is it all C level? Or just CTO? Or just CEO? what about COOs?

Yes.

"I was just an honest to goodness paper pushing COO; I wasn't complicit or enabling at all" worked great at Nuremberg.

I will never work for gambling, arms, loans or AI. You can have standards.

All CxOs are leadership and a fish rots from the head.

It's got nothing to do with their role/employment. Earning 100x more than the median income (or having 1000x more wealth than the average citizen about to retire) is a crime.

The others seem to disagree with you, but thank you for sharing your opinion.

I'll take it as an or: CxO || Wealthy

Now I just need a definition for wealthy and I'll know exactly who to dislike.
