Zoom trying to do damage control by obfuscating what they say VS what they mean is a good reminder to take PR statements with a grain of salt. By looking at what Zoom has actually done, you'll quickly see all the times they've flat-out lied.

Remember when Zoom claimed to offer end-to-end encryption but didn't? I do.

Remember when they said they've made joining meetings on macOS easier but actually installed an exploit that made Zoom re-install itself if a user uninstalled it? I do.

Remember when Zoom said they were protecting user privacy but then handed user data to Facebook? I do.

It's always good to have a reminder that what a company says is often of less important than what they've
done.

I keep seeing a lot of researchers discussing responsible AI but this seems to be putting the cart before the horse. The people that create it need to be responsible first.

The fresno lab story is horrendous. What the hell were they doing?

People keep predicting it, starting hashtags, writing 1000s of words in blogs, and it is outliving all of them.

It's kind of funny that Twitter, like Tesla a couple of years ago, just won't fucking die.
