It’s hard to know what’s the new information here. Altman’s history has been reported on exhaustively.

Few people have left openai over the year - safety abandonments, non profit status change, deception etc. but there is too much money involved. Here lies the actual rub. A lot of people involved and named in the article are reprehensible, kushners, saudis, Emiratis, PayPal mafia, vc folks with god complexes. But as long as they have the money, we have to dance to their tune.

We really really need a way for our society to be more equitable and hold these people responsible.

This has already been banned in most of the west coast states. Other states and cities also have tip credit far above federal standard.

I feel betrayed that these laws are enacted without capping or preventing the practice of tipping. I doubt that tipping could be banned constitutionally due to past supreme court precedents but we really should re-evaluate and try to get rid of this practice. Why does a certain class of workers get this benefit that perpetuates race and age discrimination (white and young employees get tipped a lot more).

It has gone up 4.12% per year compared to regular food inflation rate of 3.56%. So no it is not cheaper.
