He said "none of our best people have left" which means some are leaving.
And OpenAi probably had to renegotiate with those with a $100m offer so their costs went up.
Suppose it is karma for Zuckerberg, Meta have abused privacy so much many dislike them and won't work for them out of principle.
- martin_a 1y ago> And OpenAi probably had to renegotiate with those with a $100m offer so their costs went up. That sounds like the actual move here. Exploding your competitors cost structure because you're said to pay insane amounts of money for people willing to change... On the other hand: People talk. If Meta will not pay that money that talk would probably go around...
- drexlspivey 1y agoThey will just give them more equity which costs nothing
- twoodfin 1y agoI am nearly certain that’s not how Zuckerberg thinks about equity. You also have to publicly account for RSU’s to the market just like any other expense.

- tasuki 1y agoHuh? Equity costs a lot. It's diluting existing shareholders, ie Zuck.
- HDThoreaun 1y agoMeta is doing $10 billion in buybacks every quarter. Giving out equity undoes that.
- highwaylights 1y agoFollowing this logic if Meta had been offering this money and stop doing so going forward, this article is pretty good cover for reigning those costs in (if they wanted to).
- aleph_minus_one 1y ago> He said "none of our best people have left" which means some are leaving. If you define "best" as "not willing to leave", the statement "none of our best people have left" is actually near to a tautology. :-)
