💼 AI Talent Wars

Sam Altman Claims Meta Tried (and Failed) to Lure OpenAI Talent with $100M Offers

The AI arms race is now about culture vs. compensation

Meta is going all-in on building a “superintelligence” team, and they’re not being subtle about it. According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Meta has offered signing bonuses and total packages exceeding $100 million to lure away top OpenAI researchers.

Despite these massive offers, Altman says none of OpenAI’s best people have left. On a podcast with his brother, he revealed that Meta is “making giant offers” but that mission and culture are holding his team together. "I'm really happy that, at least so far, none of our best people have decided to take him up on that."

The tug-of-war highlights more than just cash: it’s a battle of philosophies. Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg and reportedly involving former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, is recruiting aggressively for its new AI division. Meanwhile, Altman subtly questioned Meta’s innovation chops, saying it’s not “a company that’s great at innovation.”

With AGI on the horizon, the true currency isn’t just compute—it’s talent. And the stakes? Higher than ever. In a world where just a handful of minds can tip the scales, culture might be the only thing stronger than $100 million.

Trump Delays TikTok Ban Again With New 90-Day Extension

National security meets digital entertainment

President Trump will issue another 90-day extension to delay the TikTok ban, aiming to secure a deal that ensures data safety for U.S. users while avoiding a total shutdown.

This marks the latest move in a long battle over TikTok’s future in the U.S., following a Supreme Court ruling upholding the ban and multiple executive order delays.

What’s next: The administration is still pursuing a potential ByteDance divestiture to resolve national security concerns without banning the app entirely.

⚡ Trends for the Future

Zoox Opens Massive Robotaxi Factory to Power Amazon’s AV Ambitions

Zoox Robotaxi Facility

The details:

Amazon’s Zoox has opened a 220,000 sq. ft. facility in Hayward, CA, marking its first large-scale robotaxi production hub. It can produce up to 10,000 custom-built AVs per year for cities like Vegas, SF, Austin, and Miami.

The plant will handle engineering, software/hardware integration, and final assembly. Zoox uses both humans and robots in production, with automation tackling glue application and vehicle transport on the line.

Unlike rivals who retrofit vehicles, Zoox builds its AVs from scratch. Its bidirectional design lacks steering wheels and pedals, signaling a future of fully autonomous rides with no human fallback.

The company is already running an early-access program in Las Vegas and plans to launch paid rides there in 2025. Its expansion into SF is next, with more cities in the pipeline.

What makes this crucial: Production capacity is now the new battleground for robotaxi dominance. With Amazon’s backing and a full factory, Zoox is signaling it’s ready to scale up and compete.
