风投称一万名AI员工已成为百万富翁
门洛风投合伙人迪迪·达斯声称,约一万名在openai、anthropic、nvidia和xaic的员工在过去五年中积累了超过2000万美元的财富,这让硅谷的其他人感到被抛在后面。
venture capitalist deedy das of menlo ventures describes a 'frenetic' mood in san francisco driven by an extreme wealth gap created by the ai boom. he estimates that around 10,000 individuals at companies such as openai, anthropic, nvidia, and xai have accumulated over $20 million in wealth recently, with 75 openai staff becoming multimillionaires last fall alone. meanwhile, the majority of software engineers face layoffs, stagnation, and a feeling that 'why even work at all for peanuts,' as mid-level management roles are hollowed out. das notes that even the sudden winners often feel a lack of purpose, illustrating how the sector has shifted from rewarding hard work to rewarding the luck of being at the right firm.
