The CEO of Krafton (creator of PUBG) asked ChatGPT to create a "corporate takeover strategy" to prevent a company they acquired from hitting a revenue target within a certain time window (which would trigger an additional payout). ChatGPT (against his lawyer's advice) suggested locking down the acquired companies Steam account to prevent them from publishing Subnautica 2 in the time window, which the CEO of Krafton followed. ChatGPT's advice did not hold up at trial and the judge was not happy. The opinion is a wild read and includes several direct quotes from the Krafton CEO's ChatGPT conversation. I feel like it's gonna take a few more high profile examples like this until executives start realizing that conversations with ChatGPT are not privileged and you probably shouldn't describe your questionably legal schemes to them in detail!

ORACLE LAYOFFS TARGETED EMPLOYEES WITH STOCK OPTIONS AND TENURE. Read through some of the posts from actual employees and it becomes more and more obvious what happened last week. Real Americans. Real jobs. All of this while pushing through record numbers of H-1B hires. Under Oracle's severance terms, all unvested restricted stock units are forfeited immediately upon termination. For senior employees, RSUs often represent 30% to 50% of projected annual compensation. These are not lottery tickets. They are earned compensation that disappears the moment you are terminated before your vesting date. Receipts: >One employee on Blind posted: "One of my friends was laid off from Oracle, but his RSU vesting date was Saturday, April 4, 2026. Will he still receive the stock?" >Nina Lewis spent 34 years at Oracle as a security alert manager. After being laid off, she posted on LinkedIn: "It seems layoffs follow an algorithm of high level individual contributors and mid-level managers, especially those with outstanding stock options." >Michael Shepherd, a senior manager at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure who was not laid off, posted on LinkedIn that the company had "conducted a significant reduction in force." He went on to say the reductions were not performance-based, included senior talent with deep expertise, and according disproportionately were those with outstanding equity. This was not a trimming of recent hires. Oracle cut institutional knowledge: >One of Oracle's first employees, with 40+ years of tenure, was laid off >A 27-year veteran posted on LinkedIn that a "major reorganization" ended their journey across Sun and Oracle >Kurt Frieden, 18 years at Oracle, posted that he was cut >Nina Lewis, 34 years >Marc Fitten described the layoffs as sudden and said "it was a lot of good and smart people" >Gary Olmsted wrote: "This morning I woke up to my Slack being disconnected and a nice email telling me my position had been eliminated" Let us not forget, days later, the company also hired a new CFO and handed her $26 million in stock. Oracle was just the first. No sector is safe.
