OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says Meta’s lavish signing bonuses won’t build a great A.I. culture, despite Zuckerberg’s intense recruitment blitz.

While Meta had sought to hire "a lot of people" from OpenAI, "so far none of our best people have decided to take them up on that," Sam Altman said.

According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the big money offers, reportedly exceeding $100 million in total compensation, aren’t working. He suggested Meta’s compensation-first approach won’t foster a great culture or lead to long-term innovation.
