Top AI talent should earn superstar pay like elite athletes: multi-million salaries, bonuses tied to story points, and revenue shares on client upsells. Without it, wealth concentrates dangerously and social backlash follows.

How are you guys thinking about compensation when it comes to the AI-pilled people? People should be compensated like athletes. Like if you're LeBron James, for example, you get a supermax contract. Someone else at the table, they compensate their developers just a lot of money. Their developers can make up to 7 figures and they start at a good amount initially. Maybe you have to pay your superstar athletes. Maybe you're awarding people based on these story points, or maybe you're giving people a percentage of upside based, you know, let's say a client's paying 10 grand a month and then they upsell to 100 grand a month. Then on that 90 grand difference, maybe you're getting like 10% of that. I think we need to reimagine compensation and I don't think it's going to happen overnight, but I think a lot more people are going to start to think about this. But I do think compensation needs to adjust as well. Otherwise, it's the rich are going to get richer, and then, you know, the pitchforks are going to come out.
