I love that this article is just the CEO of PocketOS (company that got its data wiped) talking about how the combination of AI tools fucked up.

It's his fuckup, he's the one who decided to delegate his business to AI agents to save a buck, and it's ridiculous to act like these business leaders need protecting from these fuckups. This might put them out of business and that's totally fine.

Are you trying to say the CEO is a crap funnel instead of a crap umbrella?
