GO Gergely Orosz@GergelyOroszAlso the way Anthropic and OpenAI have been able to hire such standout folks from companies paying top-of-market (thinking eg Meta, Google, Stripe and similar ones) is they paid well above this top-of-market Folks in such position rarely ever move for a paycut sorry It’s not…
