Does it stull spy on you like none else?

I disagree. "Being difficult to work with" is a fucking euphemism for harassing the employees. He was fired for harassment and gender discrimination, and by all accounts he is guilty of both.

If you like Disco Elysium, you should know that there are stories where everyone is a villain. The only ones who got fucked are all the other employees, whom you'll notice didn't come to the defense of Kurvitz, but wanted to have their voices heard separately.

I think it's a mess, that the current owners are probably shady as fuck, but I also believe that Kurvitz was an abusive fuck who needed to go.

LEDs are worse at color accuracy (CRI) which is hardly relevant unless you need it, but it's just to show that even they aren't strictly better than what they replace

It's a lot more complicated than that and I suggest you watch the People Make Games investigation on the subject to get a clearer idea of the issues.

It's a "don't want to miss the ship" thing where companies have to invest in whatever's trending in case it becomes successful and gives you an advantage. If they wait until it's proven, they might miss a competitive advantage (having to start learning after others). In the case of AI it's even more important since the promise sounds actually useful (the summarize anything quickly bit at least), unlike, say, NFT. At least that's kind of how it got explained to me at one of my jobs.

A lot of the tech "innovation" is actually VC "innovation" and is meant to dismantle the safety nets of the working class. Literally half of their disruption is "we'll finance you to lose money until you've ruined all competition, and then you can price gouge everyone while your "contractors" don't get a decent salary, a retirement fund or any kind of insurance.
