95% is the kind of score one sees when there's an "election" in a dictatorship. Unanimity is often suspect.
- PeterStuer 3y agoI can't help but wonder how that "Ninety plus percent" would change in a convincingly anonymous voting process instead of a public social pressure with potential repercussions environment.
- gorbypark 3y agoWhile I'm sure that would change things too, I'd really be interested in the vote if the employees "PPU/shares" weren't a factor. In the end, if this ends up being a struggle between the OpenAI non-profit vs the for-profit, my money is on everyone mostly voted for their wallets.
- callalex 3y agoIf only the laborers could organize in order to perform such an election to determine their collective actions.
- GuB-42 3y agoYou can turn the number around and it becomes not as suspect: 5% of the employees support the "rogue board of directors". Say the next US election, you have Biden against Hitler. I would expect no less than 95% for Biden. Not everyone likes Biden, but most everyone hates Hitler.
