    Your company’s behavior is disgraceful. Your AI project is a colossal failure, and your management is beyond incompetent. How dare you abandon over 30 employees overnight, with no compensation, no warning, and no accountability? Stop hiding behind flashy projects and empty PR moves to distract from your reckless actions. Pay those people what you owe them. The lack of respect and decency you’ve shown is outrageous. Step up and face the consequences of your actions instead of trying to cover up your failures with cheap publicity stunts.

    It’s deeply troubling to see a company fail to honor its responsibility to employees by not paying severance. Many of us who gave years of hard work and dedication to Saleshub/Jumper Capital LLC, are now left without the financial support we were promised upon leaving. The lack of transparency, and support from the owners of this company is disappointing, especially when it comes to something as basic as severance pay. This situation has not only caused financial hardship but also undermines the trust employees place in a company they’ve helped to grow. For anyone considering working with Saleshub/Jumper Capital LLC, I urge you to think about this carefully. A company’s character is defined by how it treats its employees and right now SalesHub is not being responsible or taking accountbaility of basic labor rights.

    There is a degree of reason to this thinking, but more often than not, this rhetoric is used by those with power, wealth, and influence to convince the middle and working classes not to use state channels to help the poor, the weak, the unhoused, the powerless. It's reasonable on small scales, and insidious beyond that.

      He's referring here to people who think they are entitled to things, whether they are rich or poor. People who think they deserve special treatment or even demand it. That happens at every income level. His statement has nothing to do with public assistance such as food stamps, disability, etc.

      @@machinesandthings7121 Your opinion is misinformed. The moderate improvements we see in current AI models is at the cost of exponentially larger data sets. Companies have already started using their flawed AI models to create more data to train even more AI models all for minuscule improvements. The hype has also already exceeded its practical use. Companies are shoe-horning in AI into everything they can because gullible old people are still throwing money at it.
