I wonder how the OpenAI employees feel about this after their full throated support for reinstating Altman and the shuffling of the previous board.

I'm $ure they feel okay about it

Nothing a few million can’t make better with some effective altruism sprinkled about.

I've noticed that, in my circles at least, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine working in defence is no longer considered inherently immoral.

Maybe they don't see anything wrong with it either.

I don't think people change that fast. The main difference is that being anti-war seems to have come to be associated with a social cost, I think.

It's a very comfy feeling to fall asleep on top of piles of cash.

I'd assume some of them would feel pretty bad. And if the board had actually said that this was the reason they ousted Sam Altman, said employees would have supported the board.

But none of that happened, and so the employees got to choose between a charismatic man with a impressively quickly put together plan, and a group of headless chickens running in circles.
