@ai6yr My former employer issued phones to all salaried people for work use and graciously allowed them to use the phones for personal use. The first ones they used were Blackberries but later on people were given the choice of iphones or android. Us worker drones were forbidden any electronics on the production floor.
@cdarwin Traditional views on morality include not having sex with a prostitute while your wife is giving birth, not cheating on taxes, not refusing to pay contractors who do work for you, not lying about everything, not accepting bribes in return for pardons or government favors.

@ai6yr Why would an attorney even want to use AI? Every lawyer i ever dealt with was paid a very handsome amount per hour. Do a job quicker and you get paid less. Do a job poorly and quicker and never get paid at all.
@mattblaze No phone there to call for help in case the engine in your VW bus does a slightly bad thing where the crankshaft becomes visible from outside the engine. 🙃
If only the little people had rights like clean air or water.
