What would you do if
a) you had more money than you'll ever need in your lifetime
b) you think AI abundance is just around the corner, likely making everything cheaper
c) you realize you still only have a finite time left on this planet
d) you have non-AGI dreams of your own that you'd like to work on
e) you can get funding for anything you want, based on your name alone
Do you keep working at OpenAI?
There is a secondary market for OpenAI stock.
It's not a public market so nobody knows how much you're making if you sell, but if you look at current valuations it must be a lot.
In that context, it would be quite hard not to leave and sell or stay and sell. What if oai loses the lead? What if open source wins? Keeping the stock seems like the actual hard thing to me and I expect to see many others leave (like early googlers or Facebook employees)
Sure it's worth more if you hang on to it, but many think "how many hundreds of M's do I actually need? Better to derisk and sell"
