    How on earth are people not totally repulsed by Altman? Capitalist to the core. Gross to see all his employees drank the kool aid too. I work in tech, but non-profit side, so I sometimes forget just how driven by money the tech sector is. Altman is a fucking bond villain at this point.

      I suspect that the employees were made to understand that their careers would be damaged by not going with Altman. That’s the most obvious explanation for Ilya’s defection and complete about-face (and now public begging for forgiveness) over the weekend.

        Yeah makes sense. Thanks for the insight, I guess I was just too annoyed to see the obvious lol

      They were probably more swayed by the loss of their upcoming payout than any love for Altman. Increasingly sounds like Ilya just bungled the timing
