I've never seen him as honest. Whatever you think of individual incidents (was Cambridge Analytica a real scandal politically or just a data scandal? - or whatever) he's just... not a... well, he's a "careless person" (https://www.amazon.com/Careless-People-Cautionary-Power-Idea...) Facebook's entire history is them either changing privacy on post settings, or changing TOS (rug pulling) or people not being able to either see each others posts (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14147719, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32826437) or not being able to contact each other (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4151433, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6090712)

This is extraordinary.

The FT piece says "They added that the character was being trained on the billionaire’s mannerisms, tone and publicly available statements, as well as his own recent thinking on company strategies, so that employees might feel more connected to the founder through interactions with it."

Surely the more likely outcome is that employees feel less connected to "the founder" because they know that there's a high chance they are simply talking to an AI clone?
