What's interesting about this is the post also has the prompt the staff used to vet people, and an author has already shown it to be error-prone [1][2].

The headline is a bit baity (in that the article is describing no job losses because there hasn't been any economic benefit to LLM/GenAI to justify it), but what if we re-ran the study in a country _without_ exceptionally strong unionisation participation? Would we see the same results?
You can also find the story on Nature[1] as well as a lot of other short fiction they publish[2], which includes stories from such authors like Clarke[3]
That's not how it works. Companies with global presence (like these 2) need to have regulatory permission in every jurisdiction where they operate. If a jurisdiction forbids the merger then they would no longer be able to operate there.
Consequently any regulator in charge of a sufficiently important market has de-facto veto power globally.
The deliveroo job is on the high side but £69k for a senior software engineer in London is definitely not! It's the government though so that's not exactly surprising. I wonder if he is not mentioning an amazing pension or something.
From the article it might be read as "Stability AI didn't even bother attempting to reach out"
> Rather than attempt to negotiate a license with Getty Images for the use of its
content, and even though the terms of use of Getty Images' websites expressly prohibit unauthorized reproduction of content for commercial purposes such as those undertaken by Stability Al, Stability AI has copied at least 12 million copyrighted images from Getty Images' websites, along with associated text and metadata, in order to train its Stable Diffusion model.
