Sam doesn't have any equity in Open AI

have you read any of the articles at all before firing off that sentence?

None of them seem to have mentioned it, but indeed it is confirmed he had very little equity in the company.

This seems like a fairly unconventional idea in a capitalist world where Altman has made all his money on exactly that - equity.

Seems like it has ultimately bit him, the investors, and the board in the ass. Poor incentive structure in the corporate governance is going to really mess with people's heads.

He has nearly zero equity in OpenAI by design.

Actually, from what I read he did not.
