Comment ChatBot Performance Reviews (Score 1) 81

I wonder which employees were actually interacting with a human manager during the review. On that thought, were any of the managers using the correct performance review site and not some Meta chatbot site? The AI lawyers will make billions in crypto during this clean up. Oh wait, they are based in CA and so the sub-par employees have to hire real lawyers. For a company that is promoting the metaverse, not allowing employees to work virtually from anywhere and now this. I am not saying that the employees were engaging with a Alpha(-bet) version of a performance review system. I am not saying that maybe they should have binged the questions and found the responses that got higher marks on the review. Maybe there is a reason why all of a sudden the 'rock stars' are now being let go. Oh wait, that is it. After the Super Bowl, they have now learned that they are no longer considered a rock star. Maybe they can have a comeback!

Sim racing can help drive innovation too. I am the proud owners of Merica's Virtual Auto. We have every part you need to make your virtual car perform like the first time developers compiled the code. If you are in need of upgrades or downgrade (to make it virtually legal to drive in virtual places) we have the part for you. All transactions are written to a privacy blockchain using the virtual currency of your choice. ** Virtual lawyer speak: Virtual fees may apply.** All transactions come with a 90 day warranty in addition to manufacture warranties. I will bet you are thinking of using some virtual part that you and a couple of friends learn to build in your CAD class online. I ask you think about this before you stake the race on that part, were any of you A+ students and not drinking at any part of the design, testing and building of you virtual part? I think we know the answer. Come on down to Merica's and get the right part for the car you virtually pay a lot money for. Remember, when it comes to getting virtually everything you need for your car, Merica's got it. Merica, there's only one. I also am part owner of vParts and vWrecks. It's a small little endeavor to keep used virtual cars out of the recycle bin. We buy used cars and parts and help new sim racers find quality virtual parts at a reasonable price. We just shipped a virtual engine from a Lamborghini Huracan to a single mother. She needed something to replace the blown one that was the result of her son and his friends tinkering with junk parts from some college drop outs. Yeah, I am talking about you Bobby DropTables. I for one wish all driver's education taught actual drivers to stay RIGHT. Maybe we could force them to race a couple of times against each other. Maybe then they would realize the passing lane is for "PASSING" and not letting some auto cruise maintain the speed of the other cars to their right.

Ford mentioned this at the dive called 'restaurant at the end of the universe'. He said it was a plot of the Vogons. I am not sure if he was Mos Def or Simon Jones. We only had a few minutes left when he came by the bar. His message was beware of driver-less trucks. I did not panic since it was the end of the universe, but felt I should at least look into it or pass it on to people running in the simulation. He started spelling out letters letters like Siri does when she sees a link. Here is what he said 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJNGjEDzObs'. I hope it helps. “Only by counting could humans demonstrate their independence of computers.” Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

It is apparent that you have not seen the episode of South Park about the HumanCentiPad. If you get your choice of positions, I suggest that you be first, trust me on this one. As for your license to use an operating system. You agreed to a lot of stuff that you cannot do and that they can do. I saved you the time and effort of searching for Apple's agreements http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/ . Enjoy and remember, foods that you eat may not be agreeable with others.

I just bought a movie about apes rising up and ... I hope these primates are aware that we will be monitoring them and all or their associates. The last thing we need is for the events in the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" to have the story wrong. I have been case all the pharmaceuticals and research lab. Now if I have to case all the zoos in order to maintain justice and the American way. If they do happen to win, I want you to to remember where you were the day they took over the world.

Well, the first thing I would do is play Robin Hood. Give every one of their customers a credit. It is the season for giving. This will prove that you where in there and they will not have to send any letters to their customers about the breach, it will be apparent. Top it off by sending everyone a letter from Saint Nick.

People are only be held accountable for things that they or any reasonable person would beheld accountable. Corporate users are taught not to use their 'work' computer for personal use or not to go to unauthorized sites. This is mostly to keep the corporate internet connection from being the source of malicious applications. Some organizations go so far to teach or introduce users to information assurance as part of their right to access the internet. ISPs will continue allowing Darwin Award candidates access to the internet as long as they continue to pay for service. God help the USA when free internet gets here for every home. By free I mean, purchase by US tax dollars. ISPs should do their part in education the account holder on internet usage, or ISPs should be held responsible for the attacks that happen on or from their networks. I am not asking that they censor access, just education the user. That annual 'this-is-how-to-safely-use-the-internet' course would remove responsibility from the ISP on any incident.
