This is a huge self own. I can't believe I'm reading this on a website called "hacker news".

if an employee exercise options (but stays at the company) does that still count as one of 1000?

there used to be rules that companies must be public if they have other 1000 investors. is this no longer the case?

no. this role is for running ads campaigns at scale (on google, meta, etc) to grow openai users. its at a large enough scale it's called "platform" but it would be internal use only.

> Your role will include projects such as developing campaign management tools, integrating with major ad platforms, building real-time attribution and reporting pipelines, and enabling experimentation frameworks to optimize our objectives.

that is actually surprising. surely they use location at some point in the ID process. its possible they have a secondary location based model to do sorting/ranking after the initial detection?

Merlin's bird detection system is almost non-functional without location.

no one asserted 1/5 is not significant. you misread this.

i was just stating the fact that the initial number posted was wrong/incomplete.

you're right that in any funding round (private or public ipo) there is dilution. your ownership in % will go down.

however no company will be able to predict future dilution so this is not really something they can tell you with confidence.

the only thing you can do is gauge current state of the company (funding, readiness for ipo) and try to estimate future dilution but even this is non trivial for early stage companies.

it's very similar. they built this directly into the Merlin app. other diff is birdnet coudlnt detect birds in realtime where as Merlin can.
