It feels like Altman started the whole non-profit thing so he could attract top researchers with altruistic sentiment for sub-FANAAG wages. So the whole "Altman wasn't candid" thing seems to track.

Reminds me of a certain rocket company that specializes in launching large satellite constellations that attracts top talent with altruistic sentiment about saving humanity from extinction.

No surprise that Musk co-founded OpenAI then.

Seems to be pretty much his MO across the board.

Ok, but the wages were excellent (assuming that the equity panned out, which it seemed very likely it would until last week).

So it is possible a lot of those people against Altman being outed are like that because they know the equity they hold will take a dump?

I'm not saying they are hypocrites or bad people because of it, just wondering if that might be a factor also.

I'd say the 650 out of the 700 people who signed it were those who joined later for the money, and not early for the non-profit's mission.

Excellent but not FANAANG astronomical.
