Yeah. I think I have a tough time feeling bad for him because it's sort of the bargain you have accept working for big tech... in the low chance that you build a world-changing product, you're going to benefit very minimally relative to the value you unlock. In exchange you get some degree of insulation from product failures.

Contrast that to if the guy had created a startup which made Copilot... he would have had the ability to benefit much more, but would have been exposed to more risk if it failed.

If you're dealing in expected-value terms, it's almost always the right move to just work for someone else.
