Its being pounded into their head almost daily (and from all directions) that AI is the future and the more AI the better. Their boss, the industry, other managers, heck probably even their children.
So any big AI initiative they are apart of had succeeded before it even starts!
Or its a phone alternative for younger kids that keeps an actual phone out of their hands, allows for worry free communication while they roam the streets and is backed by arguably the most privacy focused of the big tech companies…
(disclosure: my 8 and 10 year old have them, works great for everyone involved)
Its the only device in our household that I have utterly failed at securing or blocking content from our children on.
My son has found about 25 different ways to access YouTube across our Android, Android TV, Apple and Roku devices. I have found ways in almost all of them to "nicely" block youtube for him (while keeping it for me or keeping the device functional).
Roku is the only one that just doesn't give a crap. Screw Roku.
I think this is a very strong and simple argument to use with regulators, politicians etc.
When I put my credit card into Apples ecosystem they take a 0.15% cut of the transaction and appear to be very happy with the results. When I put my application into the ecosystem they take 30%..
You can then break down why this is, but boy is that an interesting contrast.
Your kinda proving parents point. To get email content outside the USA, there are no rules. NSA can do more or less what they want to obtain that data (hack,bribe,etc.)
within the US, it requires some type of judicial process. You can argue about corrupt judges, power tripping FBI agents, etc. etc. but the fact is, its harder to obtain this data inside the USA.
Further, if you are just committing regular old crimes, the FBI will need to run some type of parallel reconstruction IF they obtained your data using less than pristine methods.
What DoJ attorney would risk their career cause some dumb-ass FBI agent went rogue and pistol whipped the sys-admin for the data?!?!?!?!
Intel has a rule where c-suite and up execs who have been at the company 5+ years must hold a minimum amount of stock. For the CEO, that number is 250,000. The CEO recently exercised options and immediately sold them, holding onto the absolute minimum required (250k).
This is all available on the SEC's website, trades like this are reported to the SEC and are considered public information.
So any big AI initiative they are apart of had succeeded before it even starts!
