It is NOT legally binding. An employee representing the company can get them bound into legal troubles while an AI might do crazy stuff it's not a legal representative of the company. Some bad PR but they can backtrack from a crazy AI mistake and I don't see lawsuits going against them in any meaningful way.

What we need to do is to require AI representatives be as legally bound as an actual human employee. Then watch the corps be extremely careful in what roles they deploy these agents.

I'd say; outside of seeing a human avatar, there is not much difference between a meat-based drone and the new video screen human looking avatar.... except much more wordy conversation that can go on as long as you have time for.

In the future, if you want to know if the bot is human based or AI, see how much they try to shorten the conversation - because the human wants you out of their face before you open your mouth.

It's not as nice but I found silicone works best for the noise canceling sony... Aliexpress sells them. It lasts forever and can be cleaned. Normal headphones are best with cotton covers sold for pilots who have long days with headphones on; those need washing but handle moisture/humidity well.

Leather is like the silicone but hard to clean or look clean, is stiffer, just about as hot it won't last nearly as long. - I doubt most leather pads are thick enough to last much longer than the cotton ones.

Just the 1st step to wrecking another good thing. Sounds like marketing and sales for US mega corps. In a few years they will get commissions for sales; under another term probably.

TDS all over and by that I mean delusional people driven to madness by Trump... obviously, it's his supporters who are delusional unless you are own of them; like most crazy people, they think the world is crazy.

Actually, Ukraine has real neo-nazi in their army. People who actually volunteered because besides being fools, they actually belief Russia is still communist and Nazi have extreme hate for communists, maybe as much as they have against Antifa. Despite Zelenskyy being Jewish, these real neo-nazi are useful, "the enemy of my enemy."

Trump is a symptom of the diseased culture; ironically promoted by people who think there is cultural decline... fitting since they constantly fall for his projections and how he matches for the anti-christ. They have a ton of defensive arguments because so many see he fits like a glove; more than anybody else I've ever heard accused.

Yes, Trump and his supporters have very limited memories.

This got going on threats and planning on banning X for AI childporn fakes by UK and others. Musk is probably involved.

Then you have all that neo-nazi stuff that gets banned and Musk was upset at Germany curtailing that...

I don't know... I've been wanting to try lab grown meat; it's not like it would be cannibalism, he's not human.

His choice. His right to change his mind for like a billion $$$. What nerve; you are entitled to his work? Did he PROMISE or just openly express a passing feeling? Sign a contract? Make a conditional deal with supporters? Falsely advertise? Maybe, I don't know.

It's just a stupid game. It's not like you built infrastructure around him and made that decision on his word that he'd open source it later.

Paper trails! You audit later and nail people afterwards; when you put up protective BS then people bitch about red tape etc. In emergencies, you get lax but keep receipts. Even when well run, this is how it's done.

Unlike many other states, MN has an ELECTED state auditor!
Here in MN, we investigated fraud and found plenty of exploiters. The top one in the recent scandal being a white lady...already jailed. Other states quite likely had just as much fraud but they weren't taking receipts or auditing and once something was found they probably didn't expand and look broadly over other areas. We have an independent auditor office. The funny part is that a non-citizen can just ask ICE to be deported and completely skip the jail sentence! Already has happened! No jail time back home; hell, do it fast enough and no trial at all! Also, a lot of propaganda and hate is being thrown at MN by MAGA - and fraud is especially ironic coming from the most corrupt federal government in history. Who purposely waged a war on us for the last month and fraudulently misrepresented just about everything they said! Even with clear video evidence worldwide. WTF would you believe anything they say again? 9 billion my ass!

As far as warnings of loopholes ripe for abuse, those were warned about in advance; but often those warnings are non-stop and never realistically addressable (sometimes these non-profit policing orgs are fronts for serious corruption.) The auditor's office uncovers and warns about many issues all the time; not many listen without force -- but the big part of their job is to find fraud and waste or at least create EVIDENCE TRAILS so all the crooks get caught (and they are!) If there is a scandal of fraud and waste, the system is working. If you are not hearing anything you should worry because evil fucks are constantly trying to rob the government.

I've been in the weeds on some past problems in MN, and the "cure" was a costly erection of BS adding even more opportunity for waste than the problem it was solving. Furthermore some big losses are like 20% while a fully private alternative comes with a 30% profit margin that is viewed as a good thing; 30% would send many involved to jail if inside government. Most the big problems are 3rd party "partnerships" and almost never are these thefts fully government run programs. The more contractors, the more risk and even when honestly done, the profit margins are a lot of overhead cost above internal cost. They will also operate at a good price for some years and then jack up prices and cut corners later ending up with the contract cost exceeding the net savings. A business scam can run over 10 year spans and politicians think short term. At least with government problems people get jailed, caught or throw out of office. With contractors, many get away and even when contracts are ended, they can re-incorporate or just bribe their way back in after a while. Their profits can throw a % back towards increasing or maintaining corruption! This public/private partnership BS is a con job for fools.

Trump's magnet idiocy; I finally figured it out: He's just had a moronic attention span when somebody explained the geopolitical magnet problem to him. Rare earth magnets are chemically "ruined" by water in their chemistry which is extremely costly to crack and refine into the chemistry needed for working magnets. If you can describe the process of expensive refining of difficult minerals using sex (even better, with children) THEN Trump would have payed better attention. He describes it confidently like an MBA because he does get the general idea but the details completely wrong - which don't matter and he doesn't need to understand to make a policy decision.

Have you "helped" management make the right decision before? It can backfire when they go off track because they lack understanding they don't think they need and you sound like a contradiction when you try to correct their ignorant conclusions based upon misunderstanding you were involved in creating.

China has a monopoly and they leveraged that to beat Trump's "deal making" every time so he views it as "national security" since it's his blocking his bullying ("deal making.") Not being smart, if his people figure out the magnet monopoly problem; which is far more about refinement than mining minerals - he may not realize this but greenland has cheap heat/power and a barren land ripe for toxic waste with few people who are also not-white, without the magnet "trump card" (pun intended) China will just pick another simple issue to beat back Trump. Brilliant negotiation tacticians, China will find a simple pressure point again to put Trump on his face again. They also don't have this western Christian mentality of turning the other cheek; they hit back, neither does the orange antichrist, but the EU struggles to deal with him because they do.

Since they seem to be planning a 2027 invasion of Taiwan (+massive young male unemployment,) controlling the computer manufacturing industry would do far more than magnets⦠Now, if we were actual allies of Ukraine, we'd be mastering their skills and helping Taiwan copy them (who should be much better at the tech side of it.)

Poor speech writers have nothing serious to do since he mangles most their work they may as well write more fiction...
The guy can't read a speech unless forced which is obvious since he reads the prompter like a moron.
