The Hidden Cost of OpenAI’s Genius

Openai is the undisputed poster child of the AI ​​revolution, a company that makes the world pay attention to the start of the bar. However, behind the scenes, a desperate and wildly expensive war is angry and the genius of the company’s genius is astronomical.

According to a recent report InformationOpenai investors showed that reserve-based compensation for employees is amazing to $ 4.4 billion for more than five of the five past five compensation. This figure is not only great; This is more than all the income for the company, 119% of $ 3.7 billion in total income.

This is a non-hearty figure for silicone valley. For comparison, Google’s share compensation was only 16% of the income from IPO a year ago. It’s 6% for Facebook.

So what happens? In short, Openai struggles to vital in an unprecedented talent war, and his head opponent meta. Mark Zuckerberg, the best AI researchers with mass compensation packages with several main minds of Openai’s main teams successfully brached. It is reported that “compensation is re-approved” and provides more premium packages for more reward packages to prevent a catastrophic brain drain.

Although the exchange-based compensation was not immediately burned with the company’s cash reserves, the stock reserves pose a great risk by reducing the value of investors. The slices of pastry slices belonging to major supporters such as $ 1 billion, Microsoft and other enterprise capital companies handed over to workers are smaller.

Openai is trying to sell this strategy as a long-term vision. This year, the company will fall to 45% of the income this year and will fall from 10% to 2030, and inferior Openai, which has been in a three-third of the reconstructed company, discussed. The goal is to turn the employees into deep investment partners who promote a mass of stay and build.

However, the “meta effect” throws a key in these neat forecasts. The aggressive poacher and the next payment bumps means that Openai’s expenses remain blue.

These high stakes put in a position of financial strategy, in Openai. The company spends annual billions of dollars a year because it spends a lot of computational power to manage their models. In stock compensation, adding more to billions, dramatically enhance revenues and puts a major pressure of the company to find a profitable way before investors are invested.

As Microsoft is locked for long driving, other investors can be tired of dilution of property so heavy. This is forcing a counmer of the company to provide a great financial return to justify costs.

Openai was founded with a mission to build an artificial general intelligence (AGI) of “all humanities.” This expensive talent war, which is fueled by the capitalist competition, it is ideal that shows great pressure on this ideal. If you warn your upper mind from connecting to the competition, it is difficult to prioritize security and ethics when you turn on security and ethics.

As a result, Openai is betting this billions to ensure that the world is the best talent to win the race to create the first true super management. If they succeed, the financial value will appear meaningless. If they fail or if an opponent is the first there, they will spend themselves in a hole for nothing.

Openai did not respond immediately to the desire to comment.
