CEO fired developers to make room for AI. Developers create open source AI CEO
What happened
A CEO dismissed a team of human developers, claiming the positions were needed for an AI system, and in response the displaced developers launched an open‑source project called OpenExecutive that creates an AI-powered CEO.

It highlights a growing tension between automation-driven cost cuts and the value of human expertise in tech firms.
