“I get paid enough for health insurance. I have no equity in OpenAI. I’m doing this because I love it.”

That was the response to a question about compensation given last year during the Senate testimony of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the billionaire boy king whose co-founders Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, and John Schulman are now all gone; whose CTO Mira Murati announced that she, too, is leaving; who thinks that there’s such a thing as a “median human“; who’s been described by a former OpenAI board member as basically a toxic bullshit artist; and who now himself stands to make billions from his first equity stake in OpenAI after it finishes transitioning from a nonprofit to a for-profit model.
