What's wrong with mega payout. These guys created tons of value, they deserve their payout. Using this stupid structure they just fucked an entirely good operation. LLM's and other modern AI algorithms are out of the box now, other companies will happily take over if they stop innovating.

I imagine there are two factions in OpenAI, one group (let’s call them the Ilya faction) are only motivated by AGI, while the other group (maybe Sam faction?) is interested in reaping the short term profits. So why is it wrong for Ilya to complain if he thinks Sam only wants short term profits and is hoodwinking the rest of the folks into believing he is also interested in AGI? Short term profit is not what he signed up for.
