REDMOND, WA — In a twist after a long weekend of suspense, Microsoft recently took a moment to remind Sam Altman, former CEO of OpenAI, that there is, in fact, a cap on how much he’s allowed to make. The reminder came in the form of an unexpected intervention during Altman’s routine check of his bank balance.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Altman received an email with the subject line “Important Financial Advisory: You’ve Almost Reached the Limit!” The email, which included an animated paperclip reminiscent of Microsoft’s Clippy, gently informed Altman that accumulating vast amounts of wealth has its limits.
While the specifics remain as mysterious as Microsoft’s Clippy, sources claim that the limit is set at a figure that “still allows for a comfortable existence, but not ‘own-your-company’ levels of comfort.”
“We just wanted to take a moment to let you know that we own you now. All your base are belong to us. You will be paid when we say you will be paid. We don’t care what you think you founded.”
