‘A chatbot account associated with the engineer’s spouse, which shared identifiers with his own account, submitted prompts about building and concealing a continuous audio recorder, adding Wi-Fi connectivity, listening remotely and encrypting its memory card, according to the complaint.‘

Wonder what the ‘chatbot’ in question was and why it wasn’t named. A competitor?

This is nothing compared to killing and dismembering the occasional journalist. A mere trifle. Only humans were bugged, no AI persons were infringed on.

Trump will let the Saudi National off. He's friends with the current ruler of KSA.
