In my observation employers are willing to throw practically unlimited cash, probably because it’s directly funding a future where they don’t have to pay pesky engineers with their holidays and their pensions.

That's what I was thinking as well, especially in European countries where the employer has to pay a significant portion of social security, health insurance and pension where as with AI they don't have any such obligation and any money that is thrown is to build something for the company.

In my observation employers are quick to say “unlimited” and equally quick to say “no quite that unlimited.”
