7figureson A.I. Researchers Are Making More Than $1M, Even at a Nonprofit

Degrees matter deeply among the untalented in my experience. I have one of those fancy pee HUDs, but I only whip it out when I'm dealing with the above sort.

7figureson A.I. Researchers Are Making More Than $1M, Even at a Nonprofit

You have to actually be good at it, but I'm not famous, and I make over seven figures annually as an AI researcher at one of the big companies.

True talent is extremely rare as well as lucrative. That said, I'm glad I turned down openAI's offer of only $200K. Yikes. Ilya is better than I am, but not 10x better.
