but thry're not literally the government and the relevant laws only affect the literal government.
No, there is legal precedent that private companies who perform government services are subject to the same laws.

Not even deceptive. This is relatively normal business practice.
It’s easier to think of this as “project risk” as opposed to corporate risk overall.
This isn’t different than creating a subsidiary to embark on a new program, with its own debts and assets, collateralized by a parent company.
It’s effectively the same as what happens every time a major movie studio starts a new film project.
Usually subsidiaries’ debt is not also debt on the parent company, especially when said parent is publicly traded and subject to accounting/disclosure rules.

This feels like a dumb question, but why doesn't Cursor implement that tool?
I built my own simple coding agent six months ago, and I implemented str_replace_based_edit_tool (https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-us...) for Claude to use; it wasn't hard to do.
Maybe this is a flippant response, but I guess they are more of a UI company and want to avoid competing with the frontier model companies?
They also can’t get at the models directly enough, so anything they layer in would seem guaranteed to underperform and/or consume context instead of potentially relieving that pressure.
Any LLM-adjacent infrastructure they invest in risks being obviated before they can get users to notice/use it.
Why should the collective of voters be any more of a moral entity than the collective of people who make up a corporation (which you may include its shareholders in if you want)?
It’s perfectly valid to criticize corporations for their actions, regardless of the regulatory environment.
Because of the inherent capitalism structure that leads to the inevitable: the tragedy of the commons.

How come apple is struggling then?
Anyone with enough money and without an entrenched management hierarchy preventing the right people from being hired and enabled to run the project.
