A really good but long read about what tech companies are doing and the toll it's taking on employees, in order to stay ahead of the game in regards to the AI space:
"AI workers at other Big Tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, told CNBC about the pressure they are similarly under to roll out tools at breakneck speeds due to the internal fear of falling behind the competition in a technology that, according to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, is having its "iPhone moment."
"Engineers and those with other roles in the field said an increasingly large part of their job was focused on satisfying investors and not falling behind the competition rather than solving actual problems for users. Some said they were switched over to AI teams to help support fast-paced rollouts without having adequate time to train or learn about AI, even if they are new to the technology."
"A common feeling they described is burnout from immense pressure, long hours and mandates that are constantly changing. Many said their employers are looking past surveillance concerns, AI's effect on the climate and other potential harms, all in the name of speed. Some said they or their colleagues were looking for other jobs or switching out of AI departments, due to an untenable pace."
"Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood, on an earnings call earlier this year, said the software company is "repivoting our workforce toward the AI-first work we’re doing without adding material number of people to the workforce," and said Microsoft will continue to prioritize investing in AI as "the thing that’s going to shape the next decade."
"He also said AI accuracy, and testing in general, has taken a backseat to prioritize speed of product rollouts despite "motivational speeches" from managers about how their work will "revolutionize the industry."
"The biggest piece that’s missing is lacking the ability to work with domain experts on projects, and the ability to even evaluate them as stringently as they should be evaluated before release," Odubela said, regarding the current ethos in AI."

) and after the RT "revelation" in the podcast, Sean could have expanded on RTs departure as with the reasons he gave as to why NN has left.
....( end of answer) is not a diplomatic answer. Its a answer that is saying that you shareholders dont need to know, and just isnt a strength of a CEO im wanting in a company i see so much potential.
