There doesn’t seem to be any such thing as “good” AI, but there’s definitely a “worst” one, and Telegram chose it. Nice job, assholes.

Oh. You’re only counting GERMAN execs as executives. Okay.

I don’t know if they’d have many, but I’d expect them to have at least a few. North America is a major market.

I’m used to executives being above the law. I had to read the article to be sure the title wasn’t clickbait.

The only thing I don’t like about this is the word “temporarily”. Oh well.
