OpenAI per employee valuation is $150M+ (almost 100x of per employee valuation of our company). I think it may make sense to ponder a bit why a $150M engineer would have such an idea. May it be it is the preferred way of doing things in the new AI world, a paradigm shift.

Madoff had good numbers too.
We all know the most highly valued people in the world are the smartest. In fact, the more money you're being paid, the more value you add, the more your opinion is worth, and the more skill you have. The amount of money you're worth is actually directly proportional to your worth as a human being

Reminds me of this dialogue between a money manager and MIT economist Paul Cootner:

- "If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?"

- "If you’re so rich, why aren’t you smart?"
