I agree and AMD have done very little to shake up the gpu market, if Intel gets back in the game, I hope it could be a boost to the apu market as AMD are in the lead but the pricing is crazy high.

Oh no, god forbit you put actual effort into your work.

That's the most insane thing anybody has ever said

OpenAI asks employees to reject Meta's "ridiculous" poaching offers in stern memo by Usama Jawad OpenAI is the place to be right now, especially for prolific engineers who are willing to join CEO Sam Altman in the quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It seems that its rivals have recognized that OpenAI's biggest strength is its employees too, and there have been multiple reports that Meta is poaching its staffers. In fact, Altman himself mentioned recently that Meta is hiring his company's members by offering them up to $100 million in signing bonuses. The company obviously isn't pleased with this situation and has asked its staffers in an internal memo to reject any advances from Meta in the weeks to come. Wired (paywall) reports that OpenAI's Chief Research Officer Mark Chen has published a memorandum in the company's Slack, likening the poaching situation to someone breaking into OpenAI's home and stealing from them. Chen further stated that he will be working with senior leadership including Altman to figure out ways to reward employees with Meta offers in hand with financial compensation and even adjust their overall compensation figures. That said, the executive emphasized that his primary aim is to retain top talent. Chen also quoted messages from seven other senior members of OpenAI's research team with guidance about how to tackle the situation if Meta tries to hire them. One of the advice included asking Meta recruiters to back off if they try to pressurize them with "ridiculous" offers. It is important to note that OpenAI employees have reportedly been struggling with intensive 80-hour work-weeks recently and the company will largely experience a shutdown period next week so that its staffers can recharge. OpenAI believes that this period is also vulnerable for its members as Meta will likely ramp up its hiring efforts during this break. Chen reminded OpenAI employees that they should focus on their main quest, which is achieving AGI, and that confrontations with Meta during this difficult period are just side quests. It is unclear how responsive OpenAI staffers will be to the memo's instructions in the coming days, especially when stacking it up against the reported multi-million compensation offers from Meta. Zuckerberg is even reaching out to some OpenAI employees personally, with the most recent report indicating that Meta had hired four senior OpenAI researchers for its superintelligence lab.
