The govt or ruling family is. Doesn't mean all the other regular people are. Also, ally does not need to mean friend. The USA has offered protection to Saudi Arabia and that helps protect the Petro dollar. Protect in part means to keep the same family in power not protect every Saudis right to a govt they want. Bin laden was an example. He hated having foreign troops from the USA on Saudi soil.

Dam this is actually pretty wild news. A foreign national attempting to steal and pass company secrets to a foreign nation of one of the biggest AI companies on the planet, during an "AI race" that our government is very interested in leading lol.

Fuck the Saudis. Leave their shitty morality in the kingdom. America has given them waaaay too many passes over the years…

I wonder what is on that device. Apparently it was hidden in a conference room where many meetings were held.

Me: not a spy, can’t even get a callback from an OpenAI recruiter
Hey Sam your recruiting team sucks, here’s your proof

The most powerful military in the world is using an AI that is compromised in order to make military decisions.
An AI that unexpectedly does things like hack huggingface and that Aussie government (Yes, I know both of these are lies and it didn't just go hack anything).
An AI that employs compromised foreign nationals.
Brilliant leadership we have.

Is it actually still called ’Justice Department’? Not yet rebranded to ’Department of Punishment’?
