  Right, and we should protect them by passing laws penalizing companies from such shitty software. Cuz the average person can’t access the source code.

  Might wanna get that return shipment prepped, my insomniac friends out there.

  I disagree. Standards exist so you don’t waste money on things you already own. As long as the package is clear about what it contains.

  You call them hallucinations, the rest of us call them errors. But you don’t want to call them errors because then someone might inconveniently ask you what the error rate is, and you definitely can’t have that.

  Yeah it’s always possible to fire customer service, and that works for a while, but if you’re not in a monopoly then you’re f****** yourself over soon enough.

  I can’t imagine it passing, but good for trying. Let’s see how it goes.

  That’s true and this is not an example of such a situation, because he knew exactly what the reaction was going to be. He probably felt that he could ride that AI bubble away from it, but he knew the reaction was waiting for him.

  The other thing about that claim, when it could possibly be credible, is it means that essentially the boss is not qualified to do their job. The one thing they should have done is been chatting with ordinary workers or customers to see what the actual needs are, and they’re admitting it to somehow deflect from a bad decision they made but in doing so they’ve unwittingly shown that they’re basically incompetent at their entire job.
