> Worried about how sustainable this is for its people, given the risk of burnout.

Well given the amount of money OpenAI pays their engineers, this is what it comes with. It tells you that this is not a daycare or for coasters or for the faint of heart, especially at a startup at the epicenter of AI competition.

There is now a massive queue of lots of desperate 'software engineers' ready to kill for a job at OpenAI and will not tolerate the word "burnout" and might even work 24 hours to keep the job away from others.

For those who love what they do, the word "burnout" doesn't exist for them.



For these prestigious companies it makes sense, work hard for a few years then retire early.
