In the end, they both end up learning effectively the same lesson

I tend to think people shit on Musk more than they should, but holy shit does it bug me when a CEO talks about engineering problems with such bravado.

Looks like lots of people’s year end bonuses were contingent on them releasing something related to AI by the end of the year.

Is it the employer’s responsibility to determine that somebody is or is not a spy? Like the scam here was to do the actual job and send money back, not to steal company information etc. companies have legal obligations to make sure people are authorized to work in the US etc, but the government sets those standards. If you’ve got convincing enough paperwork, it’s the governments job to enforce this stuff, not the employer.

That said, I’ve interviewed several remote people who were clearly using fake identities and also clearly didn’t have the skills for the job. Seems obvious their scam was to just collect a paycheck doing nothing, so if that’s the same group, then the employers bear some fault for hiring unqualified people… but on the other hand if the North Koreans were actually doing the jobs they were paid for, no reason the company should care.

If that’s a 16oz glass of ranch dressing, and you’re planning on drinking what’s left, I’m all for this

I’m old enough to remember when Rick Berman was the guy who ruined Star Trek.

console.log counts as “a debugger”, right?
