OpenAI-Anthropic is similar to Twitter-Facebook. Twitter was full of dramas at the exec and founder level, and that impacted their execution. Facebook had strong leadership, was very focused, and executed well.

Four years to vest anywhere, what's the math to leave so early?

With a number of high-level departures in recent months from OpenAI, one wonders just how much money they have left. And how close they might be to collapsing... For a company that wants to have a massive IPO that would be worth multi-billions, if not trillions, is this the cue to leave the party before the music stops?

One year tenure. Yikes.
