Meta Tried to Poach OpenAI Staff With $100M Offers 💸

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?
