    I would believe these people more if they put their money where their mouths are and returned all OpenAI stock/options that they have acquired. Each and every share/RSU/ESOP must be returned, so they do not profit from all this so-called doom they're complaining about.

      Return or donate? Won't OpenAI profit from returns?

        Or donate it to some charity?

        Rank & file employees have very little input with their stake. It's a small piece of a big pie. Consider also that Anthropic is trying to IPO with co-founders holding a share that secures 50.1% of total voting power distributed evenly between them, so not even institutional investors can outvote them.
