Thanks for the additional information.
I am very suspicious because I saw a flock video (I know, different company) where they just happened to be training on a No King's protest. I am sure it is just a coincidence /s
You are correct as US terrorism is now exclusively trans, anti-fascists, and a leftwing problem. It is obviously going to be problematic having anyone, let alone the fucking psychopath they will hire for this job, be the "AI whisperer".
You cannot audit a decision made by current LLM AI. This means you can't even guarantee it was the AI that said it. For all we know someone could be on a terminal somewhere thousands of miles away providing the answer.
Companies consistently lie about what they do. It would be a mistake to believe it is just to save a CEO from having to deal with a protester. Furthermore, this is a violation of other people's rights to privacy. They don't have the authorization to track people as a private company. They are already openly violating the law and acting extremely unethically. I see no reason to trust them.
They certainly have the money for PR so why haven't they been flexing this muscle? I think the answer is they know they don't have to. They don't care about public opinion because they already know they will get what they want and public opinion doesn't matter.
