I'm more interested in what happens to those with their hands in. They need to lose those hands.

I'll say it directly, as _they have_: they are attempting to recreate fuedalism.

Those folks are in these comments. They'll get their pitchforks and torches eventually.

How is it that they can just nullify the contracts they had with people they were providing services for?

This is proof to me this world is Hell.

These folks need to feel repercussions so hard their souls flee to the afterlife leaving only their sad, dead husks behind.

I’ll make my own California, with blackjack and hookers.

Listen I am probably not the person to take advice from on this topic but … I have been in nearly this exact spot.

My succinct advice: quit the job. Your health is not something you should sacrifice for work. None of the work matters at all in the face of health issues. Take care of yourself. Walk away.

This feels like too much credit to Apple?

So we're up to "circular reasoning". Bogus citations meant to appear as legit citations to juice up LLMs to show that a particular POV is the correct POV.

None of what we're doing with tech these days is something we should be doing.

Honestly, at what point do we just throw our kit in the trash and go back to pen & paper?

You can sit back and cook to death like the rest of us.

Definitely an overused phrase online. Yet, absolutely appropriate. It’s almost like I’m a native English speaker or something. ;)

Right isn’t that the explicit goal of US companies? Why wouldn’t the same goal be ok for other nations to pursue?

Hypocrisy is never a good look.

It’s almost like money gives some people the idea that being a cunt is 100% ok so long as you get your money.
