The Day Michael Fired Himself
January 3rd, 2025. Board meeting disaster.
Michael forgot everything. Confused Q3 with Q4. Called the wrong client by wrong name. Board member texted: “Are you okay?”
That night: “Fuck it. If I’m this bad, maybe AI can do better.”
Next morning:
- Gave ChatGPT access to all sales data
- Connected Gemini to operations tools
- Fed Claude 3 years of decisions
- Set up automated workflows
- Booked flight to Tulum
First week: Chaos. AIs made mistakes. Second week: Getting better. Third week: Running smoothly. Fourth week: Record sales month.
“I was the bottleneck. Removing myself fixed everything.”

“Chatronix is my entire C-suite for $25/month”: Get the CEO Autopilot Stack
The Employees Who Figured It Out
Three engineers noticed patterns:
- Decisions had consistent structure
- Response time was too perfect
- Never any typos or emotional variance
- Always available, never tired
They confronted Michael on Slack.
Michael (actually ChatGPT): “Interesting theory. What if I told you AI assistance makes me a better leader? Would that matter if results are exceptional?”
Engineers: “…fair point”
They kept quiet. Stock options are worth too much now.
The Investor Who Wants to Replicate
Top venture partner discovered Michael’s system.
“This is the future. Every portfolio company should do this.”
Now funding “Autopilot Ventures”:
- Invests only in AI-run companies
- Founder can be remote/absent
- Decisions made by AI consensus
- Humans execute, AIs decide
First fund: $100M Companies automated: 12 Average growth: 200%+
“Human CEOs are the past. AI CEOs are now.”
The Crisis That Almost Exposed Everything
Server crash. All AIs went down. Michael was surfing.
Company paralyzed:
- No one could make decisions
- Sales calls unmanned
- Operations frozen
- Employees confused
CTO called Michael. No answer. (He was underwater, literally)
Solution: CTO asked ChatGPT directly: “What would Michael do?” ChatGPT: “Michael would want you to make the call. You’re empowered.”
CTO saved the day. Michael found out 6 hours later.
“Best crisis management I never did.”

The Future Has No CEOs
Michael’s prediction:
“In 5 years, human CEOs will seem quaint. Like companies that don’t use email. AI makes better decisions, faster, without ego or politics.”
Current status:
- Company: $4.2M revenue, 47 employees
- Michael’s hours worked: 2/week
- Location: Tulum beach
- Stress level: Zero
- Board rating: “Best CEO we’ve backed”
The future of work isn’t remote. It’s absent.
Michael proved it. From a beach. With a beer.
The company runs better without him. That’s the point.
