I've seen paying people too much completely erode the core of teams. It's really hard to convince yourself to work 60 hour weeks when you have generational FU$ and a family you love.

There's limited or no evidence of this in other domains where astonishing pay packages are used to assemble the best teams in the world (e.g., sports).
Same with a lot of the financial roles with comp distributions like this.

#533Dumb question. If they’re willing to pay so much for AI talent. Why won’t companies hire experienced software engineers willing to learn AI on the job? Seems like there should be a big market for that.

#536Earlier quoted context omitted.
And if they AI companies don't like the license, they will ignore it or pay to be given a waver. Long may they rot in hell for doing that.
Hell is, by design, a consequence for poor people. (People could literally pay the church to not go to hell[0]). Rich people have no consequences whatsoever, let alone poor people consequences. [0] https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/preaching-the-crusa...

#538If Sam Altman is upset, he should look in the mirror for making his people work so many hours. They didn't leave because of the pay.

#539Many employers want employees to act like cult members. But then when going gets tough, those are often the first laid off, and the least prepared for it.
Employers, you can't have it both ways. As an employee don't get fooled.

#540What drama. Hype it up. Make the bubble bigger. If Sam Altman is upset, he should look in the mirror for making his people work so many hours. They didn't leave because of the pay.
