the 1.5 mil bonus to tech staff announcement prior to chatgpt 5 release makes even more sense now. They knew it would be difficult to manage public expectations and wanted to counter the short-term (in the best case) drop in morale in the company.
I think that 1.5m bonus is likely stocks with 500B valuation. There are other rumors they want outsiders to be allowed to buy stocks with 500B valuation.

Uber had limited underpowered competition, so they could win starvation game.
OpenAI competes with google, who can drop 50B/y into AI hype for very long time.
