Humans won’t be in charge of AIs. We’re barely in charge of them now.

Reply to comment by alinearis in TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain

Reply to TIL Devon Allen, track & field athlete/Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, was disqualified in the World Athletic Championships for a controversial false start. The starting blocks measured his reaction time from the time the gun went off at 0.099, which is 0.001 seconds faster than legally allowed. by The_Critical_Cynic
If they keep records of past events, it should be easy enough to figure out his mean reaction time and standard deviation, and to consider changing the time limit if he can, in fact, react faster than anyone else in history.
Or bring him to the track and have him do 20 starts to prove his case.
Otherwise, he tried to time the gun and got caught (barely). Oh well.
