These poor people. They’re all about to be out of a job.
On the contrary, AI specialists are in high demand and will be hired by Google, Microsoft and other companies within minutes.
Altman already has.
I'm sure MS would love to grab a few more.
Dude, it literally says that right in the letter...
Did you not even read it?
You think people read things before forming emotionally charged responses to them?
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
No. Did you? I was replying to every parent comment above mine.
"about to be out of a job"
"will be hired by Google, Microsoft and other companies within minutes."
"I'm sure MS would love to grab a few more."
All seemed to ignore the context quoted from the letter and may as well have been responding solely based on the headline alone. The employees clearly stated they already have an active offer in place.

I feel bad for the 506th guy who didn't sign because he left early to pick his kid up from school that day
Forgot a little /s?
