On: Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others to join Micro...

[manc_lad]

multiple ways to make that work. LTIPs, share options, direct equity in subsidiary etc

MSFT comp is shit though

OAI comp was high based on equity and its crazy valuations

[discordance → jimsimmons]

For us maybe, but they have pulled off some high profile hires in the past… Brendan Burns (one of the main k8s guys) for example.

Microsoft comp is actually not bad at higher levels, which I assume will be given to all OAI people that will join.

[saagarjha → jimsimmons]

Is Microsoft compensation for top AI talent also bad?

[adw → saagarjha]

Received wisdom has been “not competitive”. I wonder how the MSR folk feel about all of this, too.

[jacooper → jimsimmons]

OpenAI never gave equity.
