I agree on all points. However, if he already had several millions like Mira and Ilya, his choice to work for Zuckerberg would likely be different. Where is the glory in bending the knee to Meta and Zuckerbeg?

I’d forgo a lot of glory for $250M. I suspect I’m not rare in that.
And it's only temporary too, he can work for Meta for a few years and then do whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
I weep for humanity.
People say that sort of thing when it’s a hypothetical. It’s a little different when a quarter billion dollars is actually on offer.
Hitmen get what, $5-50k? And that’s for murder.

Everyone has a price.
Mine is a hell of a lot lower than $250M, and I would bet half of that that yours is too.

That $250M is (societally) better off going to him than being spent on whatever the hell Meta was going to otherwise spend it on.

Meta will have more AI-compute than he ever hoped to get at his - and most other - startups.
This is such a weird sentiment to me, comparing taking one of the highest paying corporate jobs in the history of humanity to bowing down to some dictator.
