How on earth are people not totally repulsed by Altman? Capitalist to the core. Gross to see all his employees drank the kool aid too. I work in tech, but non-profit side, so I sometimes forget just how driven by money the tech sector is. Altman is a fucking bond villain at this point.
- I suspect that the employees were made to understand that their careers would be damaged by not going with Altman. That's the most obvious explanation for Ilya's defection and complete about-face (and now public begging for forgiveness) over the weekend.
  
  Yeah makes sense. Thanks for the insight, I guess I was just too annoyed to see the obvious lol
- They were probably more swayed by the loss of their upcoming payout than any love for Altman. Increasingly sounds like Ilya just bungled the timing
