OpenAI Leadership Responds to Meta Offers: 'Someone Has Broken Into Our Home'
Briefly

Mark Chen, OpenAI's chief research officer, addressed staff in a memo, expressing urgency following Meta's recruitment of four senior researchers. Chen highlighted the competitive landscape, particularly stressing Meta's aggressive tactics and substantial bonuses offered to entice talent away. Although desperate to retain staff, he emphasized his commitment to fairness in recruitment practices, promising efforts to improve compensation and rewards. This memo underscores the intense competition for AI researchers in Silicon Valley, particularly amidst Meta's burgeoning superintelligence lab under Mark Zuckerberg's leadership.
I feel a visceral feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something. Please trust that we haven't been sitting idly by.
While I'll fight to keep every one of you, I won't do so at the price of fairness to others.
