Just not showing up at a job which you have signed a contract for is rude and childish. Even if you are a superduper ai researcher.

You know who shows up every day? An AI head of AI.

If they can fire you at will based on the business needs then the same applies for employer based on personal interests.

Contract is an agreement between two or more parties. It can be broken, you just need to bear the consequences - either get sued or find employment somewhere else. It’s not a governor module that kills you if you don’t comply.

There is no contract, you didn't break anything because there's nothing to break.

Don't like it? Great, I don't either. Do something about at will employment.

The reality is that at will employment is abused 1 million to 1 by companies versus laborers. We truly, genuinely, do not give a single fuck when companies screw people over.

We shouldn't, then, care when people do it back. That sucks, sure, so change the laws.
