Anyway, just a reminder that your boss *is* your class enemy, thinks you're stupid, and is using AI against you.

I bet he'd only fire the ones he agreed with. Had the AI spit out HIS name, he'd call it a hallucination and moved on.

Unless you tell it DeepSeek won't have a clue.

Labor lawsuit in most countries.

GDPR issues in the EU.

Most likely improper handling of businesses confidential information if they didn't have a privacy contract for paid services with DeepSeek.

Just off the top of my head.

There is a reason I stepped away from data security and retired earlier this year.

This kind of behavior had something to do with it.
