If you're an engineer at open ai, you just saw probably millions of dollars of personal wealth get potentially evaporated on friday. You're going to quit and go wherever Altman goes next.


> You're going to quit and go wherever Altman goes next.

I won’t be surprised if it’s the open arms of Microsoft. Microsoft embraced and extended OpenAI with their investment. Now comes the inevitable.


Altman maybe, but not rank&file OpenAI engineers. They'd be leaving the millions in paper money for Microsoft's peanuts.


Deca-unicorns don't come along every day. How would Sam Altman build another one? (I'll be impressed if he does.)


Why follow Altman? Most smart people are more driven by the mission than a personality cult.
