If Microsoft won't, Google or Meta will.
- endisneigh 3y agoI doubt it. The ppus at a 90 billion valuation puts even late employees in the 7 figure territory. They can afford it, but ultimately the brand is what’s valuable. The only reason both Google and meta have not released something like gpt4 is because it’s not profitable and paying hundreds of millions for dozens of employees or billions for everyone isn’t really going to be worth it. Ironically, it would be better to let OpenAI die and let all of these people start their own things, and if one of them creates agi then pay that person the 90 billion.
- jacquesm 3y agoThe brand was a lot more valuable last Thursday. And it remains to be seen if it can recover or not.
- machinekob 3y agoWho would buy 500 people for 90B without tech, dataset, company culture they are pretty much your another excellent ML guys or team. They can make great things for sure but not more than your organisation will allow them Im pretty sure this big corporations aren't as fast moving and "we dont care about law/copyright" as ML startups, and people working in Meta/Google are as good as your typical OpenAI guy just with massive corporation on their back and this wont change.
- golergka 3y agoMatching 90B valuation for compensations would only equal 90B if you assume that 100% of that valuation went to employees. Which sounds pretty far fetched, if you ask me.
