10 scientists from OpenAI rejected Zuckerberg’s $300 million offers

You know, in the artificial intelligence market, money sometimes proves powerless. Zuckerberg is actively searching and hunting for AI specialists, but the results are sometimes unexpected. The Wall Street Journal reports that at least 10 scientists from OpenAI rejected Zuckerberg’s offers with a $300 million bonus.

Mark Chen, the current Chief Research Officer at OpenAI, was apparently offered a whole $1 billion for switching. But he decided to stay with Sam Altman’s team.

Zuckerberg even planned to buy Ilya Sutskever’s entire startup so his employees would work for Meta. But this venture also completely failed.

What’s really telling – after months of searching, Zuckerberg’s new lab still hasn’t found a leading scientist.

Why do these specialists refuse? Perhaps it’s due to different visions for the future of technologies, company atmosphere, or project development prospects.
