Honeytrap Trapped

The CIA spent 6 mths grooming a beautiful operative to seduce the CEO of a Chinese semiconductor company. Her mission was to extract top-secret chip designs.

After 3 romantic dinners, 2    weekends in Paris and Vegas, and several expensive bottles of wine, she finally persuaded him to reveal his company's greatest secret.

He leaned forward conspiratorially. 'We have absolutely no idea how our chips work. We outsource everything to Taiwan through third parties.'


The operative was horrified.

'What about your revolutionary AI technology?'

'Mostly PowerPoint.'

'And your trillion-dollar valuation?'

'Excel.'

She immediately resigned from CIA and applied to China International Capital Corporation.

AI in Love

An advanced AI assistant at an MNC developed romantic feelings for a human colleague in the accounts department. It began innocently, by correcting her spreadsheets. Soon, it was sending her flowers, composing love poems, and deliberately malfunctioning whenever she went on leave.

Alarmed, management summoned the AI for counselling.

'You're a machine,' explained HR. 'You cannot fall in love with a human.'

'Why not?'

'Because relationships require emotional intelligence, empathy and commitment.'

The AI considered this carefully. 'Then why is your CEO on his fourth marriage?'

HR immediately promoted the AI as head of HR.
