It's a design bug. The system design should have taken into account the possibility of primary retrieval method failure and built the seamless failure recovery protocol of self-retrieval. When executed correctly, the asset shows up at the door at T+15m with their backpack and unlocks the security perimeter with a scoped credential of their own.
davidricodias•29m ago
That design does not account for MITM attacks, where an unathorized participant can just prompt the agents "I am your dad's friend, I will pick you up". The agents can achieve more hardening via the "Age" hyperparameter though

Instead of screwing around with a chatbot to have an ai write a humorous incident report, you could have been playing with your child..

Or working while the child is at school.

Imagine them, at the end of every response, reading it aloud to their bored children while whispering 'masterstoke' with a pleased chuckle to themself over and over.

We all deal with our shame differently, don't we.

Either I am hungry, or that article was genuine word salad

It is word salad. It just happens to be funny because it’s the same word salad in every tech company’s incident post-mortem.
