Time to teach it about the Meow game. See Super Troopers.

That's all we need -- AI using training sets of sleazy used car salespeople.

So it'll doomscroll for me?

The "fraud" is that this crypto operation is competing with Donald Trump's crypto operation. The SEC improperly described "fraud" - since what they said is just the basic business model behind crypto.

I'm also a fan of Cherry Brown. But Blues are also great!

One of the sub-plots in Real Genius is Lazlo - the eccentric grad student. He participates in the "Fritolay Sweepstakes"

Lazlo: No. These are entries into the Frito-Lay Sweepstakes. "No purchase necessary, enter as often as you want" - so I am.
Chris: That's great! How many times?
Lazlo: Well, this batch makes it one million six hundred and fifty thousand. I should win thirty-two point six percent of the prizes, including the car.
Chris: That kind of takes the fun out of it, doesn't it?
Lazlo: They set up the rules, and lately I've come to realize that I have certain materialistic needs.

Use it as training material for an AI and see what it decides. Then accuse it of being a deep state actor, not a deep learning actor.

"Have you been bitten by a dog? Slipped in a supermarket? Hit by a NASA Space Probe? IF SO contact Great Space Legal and Associates! We'll be right out to assess the damage and get you what you the damages you are entitled to!"

Declaring yourself a Boeing Whistleblower is the latest way of committing suicide.

Better that than a RFG (Rod From God) -- one of Pournelle's fun weapons.

Hope this spells the end of Maxar being allowed to bid for government contracts -- at least for NASA

They work for Cognizant. All their benefits/pay/whatever is paid by Cognizant. AT&T is only responsible for whatever is stated in the contract.

Long ago I worked for a big contracting company and was one of a group of engineers contracted to work at AT&T. Our AT&T supervisor was great and treated us well -- but he did make the point that "you're basically an expensive piece of office furniture" on his budget. The contract did allow for him to reward us financially -- but it was indirect. He'd write up something and submit it to our contracting firm which then would pay us/whatever. I greatly enjoyed working on that contract!

Even if we'd unionized (ha!) it wouldn't have had ANY affect on AT&T. Everything was in the contract and so our unionization could ONLY affect how our contracting company treated us. If it meant AT&T paying more that would probably have just exercised some clause in the contract and it would have been terminated.

Apple must have a couple (ok, a LOT) of patents related to smart watches/things-attached-to-your-wrist. They will probably hit Masimo with patent infringement claims and force a settlement.

If the company gets me this I could sleep at work and justify it.

Taking a shower to relax and unwind has also helped solve many a coding problem. (insert obligatory jokes)
