Meta (aka Facebook’s parent) tried luring OpenAI’s top AI researchers with eye-popping $100M offers. CEO Sam Altman spilled the tea.

🚨 Breaking News:
Meta offered $100M+ to poach OpenAI talent. Sam Altman says none of their best folks took the bait, yet.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

  • Meta’s building a “superintelligence” team with ex-Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang.

  • They tried to hire from OpenAI and DeepMind. Failed.

  • Altman says culture > cash. OpenAI’s mission keeps people loyal.

  • Meta did hire a few stars, like Jack Rae and Johan Schalkwyk.

  • Altman teased an AI-powered social media app that might rival Meta.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Meta’s spending big to win AI, but OpenAI’s mission-driven team isn’t budging. The battle’s just heating up…. popcorn, anyone?

🧠 Would you leave your job for $100M?

Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy just told employees that AI is going to change hiring… fewer corporate jobs, more automation ahead.

🚨 Breaking News:
Jassy says AI agents are taking over tasks, which means some corporate jobs will be cut, though it’s unclear how many.

⚡ Wire Simplified:

  • Amazon’s AI tools are changing how work gets done.

  • Jassy admits: “We’ll need fewer people for some roles.”

  • Job losses will be gradual but real.

  • WEF survey shows 40% of employers are planning AI-based staff cuts.

  • Some roles will be replaced, others will evolve.

✔️ Straight to the Point:
Amazon isn’t firing yet but the AI wave is here. The question is: are you automating… or being automated?
