That’s what a personality cult gets you. The amount of idiots willing to die for another man’s ego is why we have some of the shittiest things in society. “Daddy told me so” is a powerful force when the people who believe it cannot see that their vision has absolutely no rational support. Jobs, Musk, Gates, Trump, they all thrive by telling people that their irrational beliefs are true and if they follow them they will make their dreams realities. The talk and narrative around Altman has always struck me similar to Musk’s cult of personality in the late 2010s.
This is tech, they have no protections. I bet there’s some clause with a time lock that they can only sell the stock in 10 years time and they lose them if they leave OpenAI before that time window for any reason. In 5 years or before they’ll get hit by some mass layoffs and lose everything. This has happened so many times before with so many companies that it is laughable. Stock options in tech are a fairy tale.

Stock options help. If they make enough off of OpenAI, they won’t need to find a job after this.

Especially in a company that’s a non-profit, lmao.
