Both the operator of the AI agent and whomever released it. I'm sure the user agreement that companies agree to would shift the blame onto the operator but I feel that both should be held accountable.
This really is just a tool and courts should treat it as such.

Blanket tariffs were a terrible idea. And the advisors that told Trump he could successfully start a gun fight with just his pointed finger in his pocket should scare us all.

I know E911 was a big deal in the telephony world and since Teams is a phone service, this makes sense.

It was solely due to speaking out against Trump.

I must have imagined the hang Mike Pence chants. You know his kids were in the building, huddling in a secure location and could hear those chants. They probably also saw the noise they made for him during subsequent news reports.
The capital police saved lives that day and prevented assassinations. Some of those officers died from injuries sustained by the attack on America.

I saw the video live. It was violent with the intent to attack America when it is at its weakest, during the transition of power.
Pardoning those people was a big green light signal to do it again.

I think you'll find if you do a little research that Republicans use the idea of trickling down to justify their tax cuts. They even make the CBO change their accurate models to "dynamic scoring" models to help sell those tax cuts.
