Sounds expensive. Just replace them with AI.

Don't temp them.
Boston dynamics would love to strap a gun to one of those dogs and connect it to an llm

Hackable bodyguards? Doesn't sound too bad.

Omg, what I wouldn't give to be in the bodyguard business.
Get some buddies together, offer elite body guard services but require 20 million up front for each guard in a mix of cash, crypto, bearer bonds, gold, etc. get hired by some rich shit bag. Pretend to be his badass gun toting bff's.
Slip them a hot dose one night, let them OD alone in the room.
Act devastated. Claim they demanded privacy and quiet, so you stood diligently outside their door.
Retire from the body guard biz a multimillionaire.
Better yet, continue to get hired... See how many times you can get away with it.
A lot of body guards are ex soldiers and cops who seek adrenaline and don't really care about their own safety...

"I'm a bodyguard. I'm out here, guarding the body in there."

I'm a bodywash. I'm here washing the body.

Hmm makes me wonder. There is this saying "Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.". I wonder if there are actual criminology studies if such murder conspiracies are stable. Obviously it would be very biased because you never know how many conspiracies already got away with things like this.

My favorite example of compromised security is the assassination of Park Chung Hee.

I love this. These parasites thought their fortunes would buy them paradise, and instead it brought literally terror for their very lives.
They could have been heros, by using their tech to make life better for the citizens of the world, but they chose instead to use their tech to enslave us, and make obscene fortunes for themselves. They chose this path, they deserve to reap full results of their choice.

Not terrified enough.
