    Kim followed ChatGPT’s advice rather than his lawyers’ advice, according to the court records. The first step was posting a message on Subanutica’s website to get fans on his side. (…) He then suggested that ChatGPT write it for him. It achieved the opposite of his intended goal.

    I would say “you can’t make this shit up”, but I’m currently wearing this lawyer’s shoes (in a slightly different field).

    Seems to me like ChatGPT isn’t even the main plot. This is a CEO who has bad ideas and doesn’t take “No” for an answer. In the before times, he would just fire people who don’t agree wih him until he has a staff who can’t think for themselves. But that takes time, so all the bot did is speed it all up.

    A complete aside but I still don’t understand where all this money is coming from… “if it sells well 250mil bonus” I read after marketing profit is 10-30% and at $60 that’s like >15mil copies minimum. OG Subnautica sold 6mil

      Its probably going to come from loans and debt, which the company will be unable to repay as soon as the ceo is conveniently gone
