Every single person working at OpenAI is going to have disturbed sleep right now, they're uncertain if their job or the projects they're currently working on are safe. Every recruiter in SV is probably losing sleep trying to poach people, getting anyone from OpenAI is striking oil but right now even high level employees who would normally never leave are in flux. There are a lot of startups in SV, including a huge number of startups based on OpenAI's APIs. If you're working for a startup based on the OpenAI API while this is happening you are working long nights to try and find alternatives and figure out whether you have a product tomorrow morning.
This is a huge event like the suddenly bankruptcy of a large company, it's 778 people in flux. Their families won't be sleeping well.
