A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mean the guy was easily making gobs of money. I don't think he needs anymore money. Did he make less than others? Maybe. But he wasn't at the bread bank looking for handouts.
Not really commenting on whether Altman got paid enough or not, but "well he's not fucking homeless" isn't really a sensible argument in any conversation about compensation.
I mean I was being sarcastic. He's gonna be just fine. He will live better than 95% of the population. He was the head of a company valued at 50+ billion. This guy is not being paid less than 300k. Him being fired isn't going to change his life style in any dramatic fashion like it would an average person.
His needs aren’t his such figures are set. It’s based on their needs.
