I'm utterly astonished, not a single whisper about AI in this entire post...

Now this make sense to me

But what's product in this case?

Good points!

we always need to copy apple... are they so good or we are so bad?

Honestly, it's tough for me to buy they did all that solo, but hey, who really knows?

That's interesting POV. I've never considered it before.

I agree, everything is legal, but the fact that it's legal doesn't mean it's fair, especially since they are his friends.

The problem is that people like Ilya are responsible for 'fair AI for the good of all people' blah blah

So, essentially, you orchestrated a coup against your friend or friends, and now you want to regain their trust completely? How is that possible? You're an adult, you knew exactly what you were doing. It's odd for such an intelligent person to act this way, but maybe money really does change people, regardless of their intelligence...

"He installed unauthorized equipment in a location he didn't have authority to be in, deliberately circumvented attempts to block him..." So he hack them :)

I wonder if they used their own product to spot the bug and fix the code..
