Vested his rsu and left
- choppaface 3y agoAnd got very bored and unhappy with big company issues. And has the perspective from his time at Tesla to know how things only get worse for creativity at that stage.
- jdd33 3y agoIts not a good thing if true. Tech and creative folk have to find ways to stick around or the financial folk fill the leadership and decision making space.
- steveBK123 3y agoIt's a hard thing to manage. Tech orgs of ~20 people are just more fun than tech orgs of 200 people, which are more fun that tech orgs of 20,000 people which.. you get the picture. You can create and encourage small teams, but then they need to coordinate somehow. Coordination & communication overhead grows exponentially. Then you get all the "no silos" guys and then its all over..
- jumpCastle 3y agoRsu exist before ipo?
- rvz 3y agoExactly. That is the real reason.
- nextworddev 3y agoOnly 1/4th tho?
- fbdab103 3y agoPresumably he was already set for life from his Tesla gig, no?
- p1esk 3y agoHe is one of OpenAI founders. I don’t think he needs to vest anything.
- VirusNewbie 3y agohe was a director at Tesla when the stock 10xed. The guy has many tens of millions of dollars most likely.
- lysecret 3y agoI usually agree but I honestly believe even before OpenAI he was set for life and he will now care more about how exciting the work is and how much it aligns with his interests/values.
- jesterson 3y agoEven when you have a yacht, you wanna get a bigger one :)
- whiplash451 3y agoOpenAI does not have RSUs. They have shares of future profit instead.
