Suggesting the community raise funds on behalf of a tech worker who gave up stock options by quitting is an odd idea. He's likely well off and flooded with job offers. Maybe there are actual advocacy groups out there that need the money for lobbying congress and such.
- rapsey 2y agoI mean he is in AI safety. Are there lots of job offers for these people. Seems to me that is going the way of DEI nonesense. His field is philosophy.
- wand3r 2y agoTo be fair, in the post he estimates it would be 85% of his net worth but says, please don't worry about us we are fine. The headline is disingenuous because he didn't lose 85% of his net worth he just passed up the opportunity to make a lot of money. The difference is that it is framed like he nearly went bankrupt and had to liquidate everything, when in reality he just passed up a massive payday to eschew and NDA. Still admirable but not quite the same as taking an 85% loss on his current assets
