So I guess in this case they don't care if they work elsewhere?

I have no idea what you found "retarded" about his post.

If companies don't need the people, they generally fire them, even in tech. It's only the top 1% or less that are kept on "just because". But they are producing like wildfire anyway for you already if you're smart.

I agree that CEOs and other people in power undergo brain changes that tend to lessen their empathy for anyone not in their class. After all they are the people that they interact with every day.

I agree that I have been in layoffs where they talked more about how this was good for the company than what those let go were going to do.

So what's your beef?

Sheer negligence. That's what drove this company into bankrupcy.

Incompetence doesn't even begin to cover it, because that would mean they tried *something* to have backups of the heart of their business.

If your business can't run without it, perhaps you should have contingency plans on how to protect it?

Especially these days. These attacks aren't uncommon. If you don't have backup plans you are simply hoping they don't find you, which is stupid.

It allows fine grained strategic control of autonomous agents.

You set the overall goals. They provide all the details in the tactical battlefield with those goals clearly in mind.

It's an excellent example of strategictactical control. You allow the teams on the ground to assess what to do, but they are driven by concrete strategic goals (such as capturing enemy troops).

No, I just skip posts with that kind of shit embedded in it. I don't care enough about your opinion to try to read something that's not English, but some mismash of (TM)'s and other shit. NO THANKS.

I'll just move on, so whatever you said is basically wasted and useless.

No shit!

Well, I guess that's what you get for that kind of money anyway. It's as good as the money says it is.

Really?

I started using ChatGPT to answer q's about trig through calc through linear algebra for an optimization class I was taking. It was garbage at the concepts, even inventing theorems and equations out of thin air. Not unusable, but if you didn't already have a thorough understanding of the actual principles, you would blindly copy. Luckily for me that stuff was all refresher so I could spot it's bullshit. But to people new to the material they would just end up confused as nothing would work out to a whole cloth.
