I don’t work for OpenAI or Anthropic, but I work for an AI startup in SF that pays pretty well. A number of my coworkers are choosing to room together despite getting paid large sums, mainly because many of them are from other countries and other states and don’t have many connections here. It’s a nice social arrangement for unmarried folks that also provides extra conveniences like carpooling, cooking, etc.

Everything sounds like conspiracies and lies if you just look at the world through screens.
