This startup has its staff working 12-15 hour days to use AI to write the code for an AI system that gets people to pay up on their debts. Collecting debts involves dealing with people who are in difficult, exceptional situations: I have no faith that they are willing to properly engage with any of the detail. I have absolutely no doubt that this company will leave a long trail of suicides behind it.
