Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, noted that many employees are rejecting Meta's $100 million offers, expressing unwillingness to engage with Mark Zuckerberg. He believes that increasing salaries to retain talent could harm company culture and compromise compensation principles. Amodei emphasized that the majority of his staff has resisted Meta's recruitment attempts, which aims to bolster its AI lab, despite the strategy being effective for some competitors. Anthropic prioritizes fairness in its compensation practices, which influences the company’s internal dynamics and talent retention efforts.
"I've talked to plenty of people who got these offers at Anthropic and who just turned them down. Who wouldn't even talk to Mark Zuckerberg."
"We are not willing to compromise our compensation principles, our principles of fairness, to respond individually to these offers."
"Relative to other companies, a lot fewer people from Anthropic have been caught by these. And it's not for lack of trying."
Meta's been on a tear to dominate AI—and if it can't grow the talent internally, its CEO Zuckerberg has no qualms about buying it instead.
