VC、AI企業従業員1万人がミリオネアになったと主張
Menlo VenturesのパートナーDeedy Das氏は、OpenAI、Anthropic、NVIDIA、xAIの従業員約1万人が過去5年間で2000万ドルを超える財産を築いたと主張し、シリコンバレーのその他の人々は取り残された感覚を抱えている。
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.
