Cue the "I didn't mean to embezzle $1 million, it was the AI" excuse.

And the Magic 8 Ball AI says... "invest every last bean in Microsoft". 
Seriously, who's going to monitor the decisions made by the AI to make sure it's not "Gus Gorman-ing" the investments?

You were minding your own business, and out of nowhere something fell on your lap. Maybe you started a new job, or perhaps changed teams, or someone experienced just left. "Run to the hills, run for your lives"

Retire. If you're too young to retire then you have employment for life.

Depends, does it generate income?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

This was pretty much my career. With few exceptions, two things I always did out of necessity were:
1) Fix the build. I once started a new job where the build required running multiple batch files including using the Visual Studio command-line. I was told it was impossible to simplify it. In three weeks, I fixed the build to where there was one batch file with one line launching a VS build (because the entire thing could now be build in VS.)
At another company, various projects in the solution had wildly different settings including some DLLs statically linking the CRT and others dynamically linking it.
2) Crank warnings to most strict with a short list of exceptions and additions. At one job, the VS project built with over 2000 warnings at level 3! To find new warnings the previous team would do a diff on the output. Three of us moved the project to level 4 with no warnings. (What's amazing is how many of the warnings were about critical errors.)

Did you buy an "Amazon's Choice" video doorbell? You may have brought home a security time bomb. So, keep all children away from them

Quote: A child could hack these popular video doorbells, tests show
That's why I don't like the "popular" things.
DIY might be even have bigger security holes (in some cases at least), but as it is singular solution, the most probably thing is that it will be dropped because it is not done in a couple of minutes.
