First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?
He had no idea.

One of my first memories was when we (America) did Desert Storm. My parents had CNN on with live shots of Baghdad being bombed. I think we were cooking because a smoke alarm went off. I got scared and started crying because I thought what was happening on the TV was happening nearby.

I think my favorite part of getting even the smallest amount of rain in SoCal is that people completely forget how to drive. Just had a person in front of me stop in the middle of the road with their left blinker on instead of shifting over into the center turn area
