> It sucks for the people left over

Not clear that this is true financially. Of course, it sucks to be at a sinking ship, but in most of these the people left behind are compensated as both employees and shareholders.

> compensated as [...] shareholders.

Don't all shares / options go to zero in Chapter 11, or is that only true in Chapter 7 when the lenders take over?

In any case, I'm not sure Character.ai's assets will be worth much or that the employees will have any sort of liquidation preference.
