Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta offered employees of rival OpenAI signing bonuses of $100 million to switch companies, according to Open AI CEO Sam Altman. “They started making giant offers to a lot of people on our team,” Altman said Tuesday on the “Uncapped” podcast hosted by his brother Jack. “You know, like $100 million signing bonuses.” Altman said that Meta’s attempts to poach his staff have failed, at least so far. “None of our best people have decided to take them up on that,” Altman said. Meta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The OpenAI CEO criticized Meta, saying that “their current AI efforts have not worked as well as they have hoped and I respect being aggressive and continuing to try new things.”
