Meta is engaging in intense recruitment efforts aimed at OpenAI researchers, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is offering significant financial incentives to lure talent away. The competition has caused OpenAI to lose several key staff members, with CEO Sam Altman responding by granting a mandatory week off to employees while expressing frustration over the situation. Altman has commented on the challenges facing OpenAI and the ongoing recruitment struggles that Meta has experienced while trying to attract top talent.
We have gone from some nerds in the corner to the most interesting people in the tech industry (at least). AI Twitter is toxic; Meta is acting in a way that feels somewhat distasteful.
Meta has gotten a few great people for sure, but on the whole, it is hard to overstate how much they didn't get their top people and had to go quite far down their list.
