What are you ranting about? If you know confidential information from your employer, you are NOT allowed to profit off it. You are also not allowed to publish it, etc. That is what the law says. This has nothing to do with capitalism.

A really dumb lie by misdirection. Natural climate change happens massively slower and things can adapt.

Exactly. But lying, even directly, seems to be getting them business because people are stupid.

That is not the discussion. The discussion is whether the tool should be created and made available. There are lots of tools that are expert or special permission only or totally banned.

That problem is multi-dimensional. The raw number is a useless metric.

Just to elaborate a bit in case you really do not understand, humans typically are only somewhat off in a job they know how to do. And if they are more off or often off, they get fired. LLMs are sometimes extremely off _and_ you cannot fire them.

Do you really not understand how the requirement of keeping your employer's secrets and not profiting off them works? Seriously?

Yes. But since these models cause brain-rot, the very skill needed to understand that is being attacked. Probably planned like that from the very start too.

That he did the trade is already a crime, whether the nature of the trade adds a crime or not.

Indeed.

You sound like you are massively overdoing some drugs. Or maybe generally psychotic? In any case, seek help, urgently.

May have something to do with their abysmally bad business situation. Obviously, the usual idiots will eat this up and believe every word...

Nope. The very act that this person used confidential information in a non-corporate approved way is already a crime. The insider trading is just the cherry on top, it is not needed for this to be criminal.

Also, why are you trying to defend this scumbag?

And you think Google is fine with employees stealing their secrets to profit off them? At least in Switzerland, that is a major crime. And, obviously, he will have to give it all back on top of the sentence. Now, if that had all been kept quiet, he might have gotten away with it (but would still have lost the money), but it is out in the open and Google needs to send a message.

Such a great technology that actively tries to con you while you use it.

Yep. "If we do not commit mass-murder, somebody else will." Pretty much the same moral level, i.e. none.
