    And what exactly do you think this situation is going to do exactly? This dude is going to dead drop microfilm under a park bench for the NSA to pick up?

    Pick literally any other company that’s working on AI right now (which is pretty much all of them) and have them hire this guy. Google, Apple, Microsoft… I bet you wouldn’t be as “worried”.

    Furthermore, if you think that the US government and its various agencies, branches and affiliations haven’t already been either using or exploiting AI for nefarious reasons. You’re really naive.

      You don’t think a “former” agent of the U.S. government agency with the explicit purpose of information gathering having a position of control in a private company with the explicit purpose of information gathering, might have a vested interest in that position beyond paying the bills? I suppose you think the corporate telco/isp lobbyists getting jobs at the FCC is all on the up and up as well.

      Geez talk about naive. What is it that you think can’t happen?

      I love the ongoing illogical downplaying you keep doing too. “Dead drop microfilm” lmao. How overdramatic.

        The fact that you put former in quotations pretty much tells me everything I need to know.

        People work in the government. They work in high-end positions. They even become directors, senators and congressmen and then they leave those positions and then they get other jobs. That doesn’t mean that they are still somehow spying on that company for the government.

        The government doesn’t need to implant people into private companies that is completely unnecessary.

        You need to get off this sub and go back r/conspiracy with your unsubstantiated anecdotal conspiratorial nonsense.
