Thanks for sharing.

Pretty aggressive paywall that is blocking archive.is and won't allow viewing a gift link without an account.

Makes sense the payroll numbers of true are those of a 300+ person AI startup.

Lol. Meta has always been such a clownshow...

They have burnt $40B on metaverse fantasy!

Zuckerberg is like the billionaire version of the average Twitter idiot that jumps on the current memes, like crypto, NFTs, the metaverse, and now AI.

Sounds like another thing he stole from the Winklevoss twins.

I'd be embarrassed to work for Meta or have it on my resume/CV

You'd think instead of paying 1 really good engineer $250M you could pay 5 really good engineers $50M each.

This is a Bighead on the roof scenario. They aren't paying $250m to actually have $250m worth of work produced. They're paying it so that their competition doesn't have it.

Meta already bought all openAI’s secrets; now it just needs to let the GPUs cook.

When it is framed in this way the compensations are rational.

> As of mid-August, Meta had successfully hired more than 20 researchers and engineers from OpenAI for the effort, at least 13 from Google, three from Apple, three from xAI and two from Anthropic for a total of 50-plus new employees.

The rest of us look for cultural fit.

Surely Meta is going to be the company that turns LLMs into, not just AGI, but ASI.
