OpenAI board reappoints Altman and adds three other directors

Just speaking for myself but if I were getting a 500k salary, my remaining concerns would shift in the direction of worrying about the longevity of human civilization, and less about the value of my equity comp. That's because I'd have enough to put a roof over my kids heads and food on their plate, so the world they grow up in would be my next priority. That would probably have me siding with the board against Altman.

But I don't work at AI or earn that kind of money, so who knows.

but you're not, presumably. And when you _do_ have that sort of salary, your circle of friends and priorities will also change along with it. At least, for the average person who also makes your claim.

No, you'd buy a bigger house, put your kids in private school, start taking bigger vacations, and find that $500k doesn't go as far as you thought it would.

I mean, objectively that's what happens to 95% of people in that situation. Hedonic adaptation is a bitch.
