Wow, this is retarded. Did they have any security at all? AI is the exploding industry, that data is worth more than gold. As evidenced by that a random software engineer had $7M in stock to begin with (unless he was with the company for a long time, and rode the stocks, but AI engineers' salaries are insane, so it could go either way.) These people are raking in the money.

Everyone involved here is retarded. xAI for lax security, the millionaire engineer for being a criminal when he could have just...continued to be a millionaire.

Where is this guy now? Did he flee?

Did you forget that Musk said he would go to war over H1B? Musk isn't the brightest tool in the shed.

It's really, REALLY hard to keep an engineer on the inside from stealing your code. All it takes is a thumb drive or an email.

The biggest deterrent is the legal ramifications, as this engineer has likely destroyed his career and will be going to jail for corporate espionage.

He's up 7 mil, plus whatever he got from OpenAI for the corpo espionage. Even minus taxes, he's probably golden for life, what's a year or two in rich-person-jail?

in a few weeks, it will be

we had no idea the code he uploaded wasn't his. We've fired the engineer and totally, definitely deleted the stolen material.

better to throw a known opportunist who would steal secrets for profit under the bus than risk going under trying to defend him.

Elon hates Americans so much he'd rather hire jeets and chinks who scam him. Fuck him. I hope this ruins him.

It's not about hating Americans. It's about doing what is most profitable. But he might hate Americans too.

I don't think he hates america, his comments about it show that he seems to strongly support and love america. But that said, he does want to have the absolute best employees possible. The issue is, Elon is autistic, so groups that are far more prone to lying, such as Indians and even more dangerously, the Chinese, are able to appear as if they are the most skilled in their fields. In the Indian's case, most of it is just pure lies and nonsense. In the Chinese case, they very well might be, but their lies come in the form of security issues where they will steal anything that isn't bolted down in order to get ahead.

Chinks aren't the most skilled either. They're good at rote memorization and working the system but anything that requires higher level thinking is a problem. They're as dishonest as jeets, just less crude about it.

If copyrighted material can be used for training data, why should anyone care about a company's codebase? It's the wild west, baby.

It's worrying how dependent our industry is on a fucking piece of paper filed at some federal office.

Copyrights are automatic now(have been for decades). Most companies don't even bother doing that, you only need to for statutory damages, and most smaller companies don't do that for every revision.

Automatic or not, the problem is when you run into a party who doesn't respect your piece of paper, e.g. China. You can sue for "damages", but it doesn't unsteal your codebase.

It's almost like China is a geopolitical enemy and trusting any Chinese is a huge ass mistake because they often turn out to be here to steal info and tech and shit.

Weird.
