    anyone else already experiencing this in a corporate environment? I know I am. Its not just between teams either, its within them.

      Would you expand on your experiences? Can you not share ideas now? What if you enhance them with an LLM before sharing them?

        I misinterpreted the article. Its more about sharing ideas within the company, because teams and team members are apt to steal ideas and implement them with AI faster than the originator. I guess this was always theoretically a problem but its especially pronounced now because of the commonality of layoffs, and exacerbated at my company due to the failing stock price.

          Huh, and I thought "stealth-mode" for startup founders was a meme. Turns out a form of it started percolating around.
