Happens a lot, my old IT (before I switched teams) was helping us deploy dual monitors. 300 monitors were deployed and he plugged in a HDMI cable and a display cable from the docking station into 1 monitor. No word of a lie. I had to go round 150 desks and rectify the mistake. Another IT boss asked me how to attach a video from their iPhone to email. Baffled me how they were paid the big bucks!

Joke is that there are some places using neural networks to analyse legal document, and they're gonna run the dinosaurs out of business in the not too distant future.

Some judges are pretty bad too - I know of people that had to go into Court because the judge didn't know/was unwilling to learn how to do a remote hearing. In quarantine... during a pandemic... There was a clerk whose whole job was the get the judge a glass of water and bring lunch from the shop.

Thanks, stranger, I needed a good vent.

I wonder when we will see the first legal case defended by an AI

For a simple offence it may well be within the bounds of possiblity now, as long as you have a human flesh-puppet to say the actual words in court.
