I think I speak for all of us when I say get fucked, Sam https://fortune.com/2023/05/05/openai-ceo-sam-altman-remote-work-mistake-return-to-office/
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the remote work ‘experiment’ was a mistake—and ‘it’s over’

The CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI said one of the tech industry's biggest mistakes was thinking "startups didn't need to be together."

So, the article was paywalled, why I did not read it. However, it seems from the opening blurb that he is talking in the context of "start-ups"?

From that POV, I think he might have a point. 12 or so people in a new company working to get it started, I imagine a shared location would be beneficial in that context.

Most of us do not work in start-ups, so can disregard advice on how to run one.

@airwhale @seldo @anderseknert I toggled Reader mode on my phone to bypass the paywall. They interviewed Keith Rabois too, so obviously the journalists were looking for work-hard-neglect-your-family-rah-rah assholes to speak to. Rabois can get fucked too.

Hardcore hacker, you! That worked? That is so bad... :)

Thanks, I will try the same, but I guess it won't change my mind about hybrid and remote work.

@airwhale no, it’s not the sort of article that changes minds. Just more of the zeitgeist: we have the money, we’re in charge, the good days are over and you should go back to fearing for your job and sitting where we can see you

Yeah, just read it, using your tip - thanks. It's about the valuation, and my guess is that the majority of his team hold something close to nothing of the total value.
