I’d be a bit surprised if you could find people on this forum who (still) work at Cohere. Hard to see a stronger signal to interview elsewhere than your CEO explaining in a public memo why they hate you.
but making an internal statement about it to your company seems really odd to me? Like why do your engineers and project managers need to know about your anti-EA opinions to build their products?
I agree it’s odd in the sense that most companies don’t do it. I see it as a attempt to enforce a certain kind of culture (promoting conformity, discouragement of dissent, “just build now” at the expense of ethics, etc) that I don’t much care for. But the CEO also made it abundantly clear he doesn’t like people who think like me either, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
