🔎 Spotlight: OpenAI’s CEO slams Meta for poaching top AI talent. Is Big Tech’s AI arms race going too far?

The AI talent battle just got personal. Meta poached several OpenAI researchers for its new "superintelligence team," prompting a fiery response from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

In a company Slack message, Altman dismissed Meta's hiring spree, claiming they "didn't get their top people and had to go quite far down their list." He framed the competition as "missionaries vs mercenaries," positioning OpenAI as true believers in AGI while painting Meta as having "deep cultural problems."

Altman's pitch worked – OpenAI employees rallied with testimonials about their company's superior culture. The message is clear: this isn't just about paychecks, it's about the future of AI development. As the race toward superintelligence heats up, expect these talent wars to get even messier.
