I don't at all disagree with you, but at the kind of money you'd be making at an org like OAI, it's easy to envision there being a ceiling, past which the additional financial compensation doesn't necessarily matter that much.
The problem with the argument is that most places saying this are paying more like a sub-basement, not that there can't genuinely be more important things.
That said, Sam Altman is also a guy who stuck nondisparagement terms into their equity agreement... and in that same vein, framing poaching as "someone has broken into our home" reads like cult language.
- ryandrake 1y agoWe shouldn’t even be using the offensive word “poaching.” As an employee, I am not a deer or wild boar owned by a feudal lord by working for his company. And another employer isn’t some thief stealing me away. I have agency and control over who I enter into an employment arrangement with!
- jaza 1y agoSo then, is "headhunting" more or less bad?
- ryandrake 1y agoI think anything that evokes “hunting on someone else’s land for his property” is equally inappropriate.
- jack_riminton 1y agoWould "bought" be better then? implies slavery!
- chaosharmonic 1y agoI don't disagree with this either -- it's very clearly just a free market working both ways. It also immediately reminds me of the no-call agreements companies had with each other last decade 10 or 15yrs ago.
