Learning from ED-209's introduction.
Last week we tested ED-209 at our corporate headquarters. Our confidence in ED-209 was high because we had thought about all likely scenarios in our comfortable offices. We are deeply sorry and assume the full responsibility from ED-209's actions. Moving forward we will make sure to include safeguards to reduce the amount of pain caused by ED-209's deployment.
Our deepest condolences to the families of the affected and to the survivors. Omnicorp cares about your well being. To help cover expenses from the tragedy we will deposit $money in your Omnicorp account.
God bless the federated nations of Omnicorp.

- throw11231 11y ago"he did". In the fine movie a single male test person was chosen. Sorry for mentioning this, but recently HN is unreadable due to PC use of pronouns.
- lostcolony 11y agoBut in referencing those affected by Tay, it was both genders, hence their usage of it. This was not 'PC use of pronouns', but 'correct use of pronouns', due to said pronoun's use in drawing an analogy between Microsoft's response and that movie scene. You're a little alarmist. That's also quite a bit of hyperbole, that PC use of pronouns leads to something being -unreadable-. But you know that, hence your use of a throwaway account.
- 1231223211 11y ago"hence azakai's usage of it". Abuse of pronouns does make posts unreadable: A new highlight was reached yesterday, when someone referred to "Ron Garret" as "they". It is no longer clear what is singular or plural.
- brighteyes 11y agoIs it wrong, though? The post replied to refers to "families", "survivors". Isn't "they" the right pronoun in that context?
