Oh of course, you’re not getting into positions of power by not playing by the party’s rules. And if you get notions that you can tell THEM what to do you’ll be swiftly dealt with. The company is doing well and…
Its CEO allegedly holds a 84% stake and he's the same guy who founded the hedge fund that funds it. Deep pockets + simple control = perfect culture to just hire talent and let them go wild without worrying about…

Working culture at OpenAI and Anthropic is quite brutal. But hey, a lot of their employees are on 7+ figure compensations (when counting their paper worth) so it's certainly a motivating factor to work long hours.
