Silicon Valley's competition for AI talent has led to reported nine-figure pay offers, especially from Meta seeking top researchers for its Superintelligence Lab. Reports suggest offers could reach up to $300 million over four years, although Meta denies these figures. The demand for AI experts significantly exceeds supply, prompting companies to offer salaries higher than typical tech industry compensation. This has created resentment among lower-level tech workers, as top talent is now being compensated like elite athletes. Mark Zuckerberg appears focused on determining the financial incentives needed to attract the required talent for his ambitious AI vision.
Meta has reportedly made at least 10 high-pay offers of up to $300 million over four years to recruit top OpenAI researchers for its Superintelligence Lab.
Demand for AI experts far outpaces the supply, prompting companies like Meta to offer outsized salaries that could rival or surpass those of CEOs at Big Tech.
A former Meta engineer noted that as 'top tech talent is finally being treated like top sports,' many rank-and-file workers feel resentment towards these high compensation packages.
Mark Zuckerberg seems to be testing how much he needs to pay to attract talent necessary for achieving his vision of a personalized AI for everyone.
