Is this OpenAI's Smartest Move?

Talent Competition - Meta's high cash compensation, reportedly $10 million to $100 million, puts significant pressure on AI companies like OpenAI [1][2] - Large sums of money can sway individuals, regardless of their initial statements about mission or values [1] - To retain talent, OpenAI may need to match Meta's compensation packages [2] Financial Implications - A $6 billion investment translates to only $60 million per 100 engineers or $10 million per 600 engineers, which is considered relatively small [2] Strategic Considerations - Offering a $10 million or $100 million offer from Meta can significantly alter an individual's life decisions and career path [2] - Predicting employee retention based on abstract statements is unreliable [1]
