I wondered about this too and I like your advice about salt but apparently Apple is suing Rivos about this very thing: https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/apple-lawsuit-says-...

The article says 40 employees not hundreds, but I imagine that 40 of Apple's top chip talent is going to hurt, that is a lot of brain power to lose!

Seems some employees took more than themselves to Rivos. "at least two former Apple engineers took gigabytes of confidential information with them to Rivos."

Remember Apple cancelling their contract with Imagination (GPU) and hiring their employees to work on Apple's GPU?
Hurts donut.
I wonder if tha’ts subject to criminal prosecution or merely civil remedies.
I never said or implied that they didn't take many, just not hundreds. In the tens? I believe that. Up to a hundred? That's a tall order. Multiple hundreds? That's catastrophic to any org, including one as large as Apple
