Yeah.
So I think that was part of it.
Like, it's not like we're poor.
Like, I worked at OpenAI for two years.
I have plenty of money now.
So, like, in terms of, like, our actual family's level of well-being, it basically didn't make a difference.
Wait, did he not?
I thought he actually did.
I was going to say, didn't he like actually, he didn't get it back, did he?
Or did Leopold get his equity?
My understanding is that he just actually lost it.
And so props to him for just actually going through with it.
I guess we could ask him.
But my understanding was that his situation, which happened a little bit before mine, was that he didn't have any vested equity at the time because he had been there for less than a year.
But they did give him an actual offer of, we will let you vest your equity if you sign this thing.
And he said no.
So he made a similar choice to me.
But because the legal situation with him was a lot more favorable to OpenAI because they were actually offering him something, I would assume they didn't feel the need to walk it back.
But we can ask him.
Anyhow, so yeah, here's props to him.
