"[Meta has] started making these, like, giant offers to a lot of people on our team. You know, like, $100 million signing bonuses, more than that [in] compensation per year [...] I'm really happy that, at least so far, none of our best people have decided to take him up on that."
"I believe Meta's focus on high compensation packages for employees, rather than the mission of delivering AGI, would likely not create a great culture."
"I respect many things about Meta, but I don't think they're a company that's great at innovation."
"It's not enough for companies to catch up on AI - they have to truly innovate to stay ahead."
Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg is significantly increasing hiring efforts for a new superintelligence team, attempting to lure AI researchers from rival labs like OpenAI and Google DeepMind with lucrative offers exceeding $100 million. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman confirmed the recruiting attempts but stated they have largely failed, attributing the loyalty of his team to a belief in OpenAI's mission and culture. Altman characterized Meta’s approach as overly focused on financial incentives rather than innovation, suggesting this may hinder their long-term success in the rapidly evolving AI field.
