| >You think the total valuation of all companies divided by the total number of people comes out to a few cents? No, where did I say that? The person I was replying to wants to share OpenAI's value specifically, so I only mention OpenAI. Also, I didn't say "a few cents", I said cents, intended as a relative contrast to "millions." >The US GDP per capita was $80k in 2023. The global GDP per capita is $13K. Yes, and the US per capita GDP would drop to $15.8k if the "excess" was redistributed to the rest of the world. But now everyone is equal, regardless of what they do, right? Is this fair? >Even if you were to split up the valuation of OpenAI for every single person in the world, everyone would be getting $10. That's not how it works and I think you know that. Where does this tangible $10 come from if there is no buyer? Or do you think someone is willing to spend $80B on a company which is then immediately destroyed because the money is taken from the shareholders and sent to everyone else? There would be no company left. Do you think that the very idea of this impending dissolution-upon-purchase wouldn't lower the value of the company drastically? >what point are you actually trying to make? That it's silly to suggest redistributing OpenAI compensation. |
Speaking of which, how did you arrive at a few pennies in your estimate?
