How it happened…

• Trump: We’re not grifting enough.
• Miller: We’re grifting all the grift. Every scheme we know, in parallel.
• Big Balls: We’re not smart enough. AI SI is smarter. It can think of more.
• Trump: I already asked the Google.
• Big Balls: We need a fraud-specialized training dataset.
• Miller: Say we’ll pay them to tell us about fraud schemes.
• Trump: I’m not paying them.
• Miller: You never do. Just tell them you will.
• Trump: Are you - a very bald and very short man - criticizing me?
• Miller: No, sir. ‘mirin’.

Perverts bought pervert glasses from pervert corp to perv on women without their knowledge or consent. Then they found out that pervert corp, which is famous for perving on its customers without their knowledge or consent, has been perving on the pervert glasses perverts, without their knowledge or consent. The perverts are both surprised and upset that they have become victims of perving while trying to perv.

These aren’t the kind of saber-rattling disputes that make it to trial (or even go beyond the sternly worded letters stage). Neither side wants to fight it in court, because it’s a murky. The most noteworthy recent curtailing of it was when SCOTUS went 5-4 in favor of religion over profit in Hobby Lobby, which is hardly a strong case for board independence.

“The company says it may share user information in limited emergencies if it believes disclosure is necessary to prevent death or serious physical injury.”

Also keep in mind: Your chat logs are company assets. Even if today’s decision makers believe maintaining user trust is net profitable, that will not always be true. Some day, maybe when the pullback comes and the wolves are at the gates, or when they sell the company, or when a shareholder action asserts fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, your chat logs will be sold and mined in the most lucrative way possible. The way that extracts the most value from you, the product.
