19. It's supposedly about the collapse of education technology company AllHere's chatbot.

This company's main product up until the AI disaster was a text messaging system designed to reduce chronic absenteeism.

Their AI chatbot had many issues, including security issues potentially violating the privacy of students and parents.

LAUSD was about three million dollars into it when the company collapsed and investors pulled their funding.

I'm rather looking forward to the collapse of the huge AI companies in a similar manner, but the odds are the FBI isn't going to be making a big show of it, and may even be tasked with burying the mess, as they have with the Epstein files.

All the top people promoting this latest dead-end AI fad are grifters, throwing other people's money into the problem, hoping they'll find a way to make it profitable before the bottom falls out. Or maybe they know it's bullshit already and are crossing their fingers that they are too big to fail.
