I certainly agree. It is absolutely silly, but time and time again it is shown that money moves people. However, I also believe that once a majority of them get 5-10 years in and continue maturing through that, as we all do, they return to OpenAI (or whatever is around in the future) to contribute back in a way that helps all our children's future, not just their own.

The things I stand for now would not have held in the face of millions in comp 10 years ago, so I don't expect the same of others. I only hope they earn whatever it takes to get them to the next level sooner than later. AI does appear to be worth a good fight for humanity.
