"rpo is disrupting reposition with our innovative AI powered app and gig worker lawyers in tow trucks who do the repos."

You think this would work for a last gasp venture flip scam?

(I'm not serious. I'm not a monster. HOWEVER.)

@futurebird What AirBnB, Uber, and now OpenAI has taught me: If you break the law but you're a well financed corporation, you're not really breaking the law. An "AI repo" company that just straight up steals cars using "an app" and "predictive algorithms" would probably have a trillion dollar valuation in 3 years.

@kevinbowrin

Why oh why don't I have the soulless sucking black hole of greed in me to just do this and be filthy rich?

I'm just going to be mad when someone else does it.

@futurebird @kevinbowrin No no, here's the thing! The predictive AI generated algorithm should strongly favor luxury vehicles because of _mumble mumble something something_. Can't share the details, proprietary trade secret tech, you see...

Get valuated, get venture capitaled, steal rich people's cars, get sued into the ground... but not before paying yourself an enormous salary and flipping the stock options for something more stable.

It's not theft if you're stealing from wall street.

@Longwing @futurebird @kevinbowrin so, it’s a matter of policy that when the perpetrator is big enough or high enough status that’s not a crime. I propose that if the alleged victim is big enough or rich enough that is also not a crime. How can it be a prosecutable offense, your Honor, if the value of the goods allegedly taken from the purported victim have the proportional value that a candy bar has to my client? That’s just absurd!
@Longwing @kevinbowrin we will go to prison forever
@futurebird @kevinbowrin As 2025 has clearly shown, prison isn't ~for~ rich people.
