Katherine Long sounds great. Her second attack, with fake board meeting notes is so dedicated.
love the reference
It did what now? What the hell is this title?

Anyone getting flashbacks the cyberpunk and the AI vending machine?
Brendan was a friend and a hero, how dare you.

Corporate AI criticism always ends up being AI boosterism. This is just a way to laugh at “early” AI’s mistakes while implying that it will get good any day now.
