He acknowledged that Meta had hired some capable individuals but emphasized they didn't secure OpenAI's best talent, instead opting for lower-ranked candidates. Altman reflected on the ongoing attempts by Meta to lure their top researchers, indicating a long-standing battle over talent. Following news of Meta's hires, their stock soared to a record high. Altman hinted at possible compensation adjustments for OpenAI staff amidst the recruitment competition.
Altman mentioned that while Meta recruited some "great people," they failed to secure OpenAI's "top people" and had to go "quite far down their list" for hires.
