i dont hate sam and i dont get the vitrol but in this particular case if he's involved in theft of apple hardware then there is very good chance that the engineers who were at apple facilitated will at least get criminal sentencing, sam will be protected because there is too much on the line

i think he's ability to protect the ex-apple engineers is limited as the trials proceed id think it'd be wise for him to remain insulated and distance for the sake of openai

anyhow lawyers on both sides are going to be making far more money than any of their engineers, this trial will drag on for years and they will be eating good, settlement alone could be insane if courts side with apple which in this case seems pretty clear
