TLDR: Techbros in SF are wearing AI pins that record everything everyone says around them.

“My general sense is that we should assume we are being recorded at all times,” said Clara Brenner, a partner at venture capital firm Urban Innovation Fund. “Of course, this is a horrible way to live your life.”

Damn right it is. Every day one step closer to dystopia. Fuck this shit.

Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Tought these fuckers nothing

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarbanes%E2%80%93Oxley_Act

Corporations and c-staff lie cheat and steal, They come up with a legal ideas and tell people to act on them. The last thing they need is something storing information about what they're actually saying and is set around them. These spy pins and the VR boardroom note takers are just generating documentation to get these assholes hold off to prison, when we start caring about that start again

You don't keep those emails, you don't keep those records, you don't keep audio or video past a predetermined period of time someone discovery comes for you , You're not caught shredding evidence.
