🔎 Spotlight: Meta’s New AI Lab Is Paying Over $300M to Steal Talent—What Are They Building?

Meta has apparently decided that the best way to build superintelligence is to first demonstrate it by creating compensation packages so astronomically large they might actually bend space-time. We're talking hundreds of millions to lure AI researchers away from OpenAI – offers that make lottery winners look financially modest.

Picture this: You're peacefully training neural networks when a Meta recruiter slides into your DMs with CEO-level money for someone who probably still eats cereal for dinner. Meta officials are playing coy about the "hot market for leadership roles" while OpenAI frantically recalibrates their own packages, promising future computational resources (the AI equivalent of "we can't match their money, but we've got really fast computers!").

The whole situation has devolved into what industry insiders diplomatically call "tensions," but what the rest of us recognize as corporate poaching with briefcases full of stock options. There are apparently only about twelve people on Earth who truly understand superintelligent AI, and every tech company wants to collect them like very expensive Pokémon cards.
