The tech industry is experiencing intense AI talent wars with companies offering massive compensation packages up to $300 million over four years, a stark contrast to the 2005-2007 era when Steve Jobs and other tech leaders illegally colluded to suppress wages through no-poach agreements. This shift has created internal tensions within companies as traditional compensation structures are disrupted, forcing leaders to appeal to employees' sense of mission rather than relying on restrictive hiring practices.

What Steve Jobs feared is now the tech industry’s reality

hate it or love it, I guess AI did benefited us… and by us I mean mostly being those who make it and have a PhD in it.

All these years the companies exploited the employees, Now in the era of AI let the employees cook.
Sleepless nights and endless learning , They deserve it .

So steve jobs tried to mafia his way through keeping wages down and now thats no longer the case? oh no, how sad.

Not sure to upvote this, based on the title of the article being the worst sort of clickbait.
SJ got off relatively lightly <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_Litigation" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">on the class action suit associated with this</a>. I wonder if the DOJ investigation would have been different at other times than 2010.

But this is good for Engineers right. So what the fk is your problem?
