If I was the director of AI safety, and I used AI to own and delete my inbox, I sure as shit would never tell a soul.
This is pure unbridled incompetence.
As a director of something, you are kinda public person. No way to just not tell.
Okay but this is like the armoury master person shooting their own foot with a loaded gun when they were juggling guns.
