Sam Altman: Meta offered $100 million to poach OpenAI talent but no one accepted.

On June 18, according to the Financial Times, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman accused Zuckerberg’s Meta of trying to lure developers away from OpenAI with a signing bonus of $100 million and higher salaries in an effort to catch up in the artificial intelligence race. Sam Altman stated that Meta’s current advancements in artificial intelligence are clearly lagging, and they have resorted to offering “huge offers” to their employees. I think their continued efforts are reasonable, as their current endeavors in artificial intelligence have not met expectations. I respect their proactive attitude, but none of OpenAI’s “top talents” have accepted Zuckerberg’s invitation.

Last week, Meta announced a $15 billion investment in data labeling startup Scale AI and hired its co-founder Alexandr Wang. According to insiders, as part of advancing the superintelligence plan, Zuckerberg has been personally selecting talents and making calls.
