- make3 5mo agoin theory the IPO pricing is already set
- david_shi 5mo agoThe price can move after the IPO too
- pbgcp2026 5mo ago... yep and kxm Bessent kxm helped to set it. Anthropic shot themselves in a foot. Twice LOL
- mlmonkey 5mo agoHe won the Nobel. He made enough from Google to last 7 lifetimes. He does not need the money!
- overfeed 5mo ago> He does not need the money! Where did I hear this before? Very few people feel that a specific amount is ever enough.
- mlmonkey 5mo agoI have seen enough examples of guys prioritizing mental health over money after a certain point. A friend made mid-8 figures after exit and became a highschool math teacher. In general: if money was everything, wouldn't the top faculty in every top school be quitting and joining FAANGs ? Who would want a professor's job, making a mid-level SWE amount?
- barbarr 5mo agoHe doesn't need the money though. I bet there's something cultural or structural going on at GDM that made him want to leave.
