The Sam Brinton Story Just Got Weirder

Do you remember Sam Brintin? The MIT graduate/ non-binary person that the Biden administration hired as a Deputy Assistant to the nuclear waste bureau of the Department of Energy?

If you don’t remember, here’s a report on Brintin filmed after his appointment was announced.

I have been a fan of Brinton ever since he/she made his/her first appearance in the press. I was disappointed, therefore, to discover that, not long after taking office, he/she was caught on camera stealing luggage from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.

According to police reports, that was not his/her first arrest. Still the Biden administration and the mainstream media tried to stay loyal to him/her. But the reports kept popping up. More disturbing, his/her kleptomania had a particular focus: women’s clothing. Still, the story would have probably gone away, except that several weeks ago, a fashion designer for women, a Tanzanian, no less, came across a photo of Brinton wearing one of her custom-designed dresses. It was the very dress that was in a travel bag of hers that had been “lost” by an airline in 2018.

“Should we automate the CEO?” 

From The Hustle:

Last August, NetDragon Websoft – a Hong Kong-based online gaming firm with $2.1B in annual revenue – appointed a CEO to helm its flagship subsidiary.

The new chief, Tang Yu, was responsible for the typical duties of a company figurehead: reviewing high-level analytics, making leadership decisions, assessing risks, and fostering an efficient workplace.

Even better: She worked 24/7, didn’t sleep, and was compensated $0 per year.

But there was a catch: Yu wasn’t a human. She was a virtual robot powered by artificial intelligence.

So far, having an AI CEO hasn’t had any catastrophic consequences for NetDragon Websoft. In fact, since Yu’s appointment, the company has outperformed Hong Kong’s stock market.
