    You clearly have no idea how much ai engineers are paid, and even less of an idea how their stock options are priced.

      What are you talking about. The engineers the ground level folk that a developing this stuff yes they’re paid highly but they’re not millionaires by any stretch in the imagination. Building a system that will crash the entire economic system of the Earth is not beneficial to them.

        The average salary of the 60+ people left at character.ai is $1m, according to the news about disney buying them. Even a bankrupt one can make millionaires.

        The hundreds, perhaps thousands of people working on ai are millionaires. I dont know that being a millionaire is a great sign of anything anymore, but theyll have done it with just a few years of work.

        The main engineers buildings this stuff are millionaires. They’ve been making probably $400k on the low end and we know of salaries over a million on the high end.

        Still not enough to survive an actual world collapse though.
