Meta’s AI Recruiting Campaign Finds a New Target
Meta approached more than a dozen staffers at Mira Murati’s AI startup to discuss joining its new superintelligence lab. One received an offer for more than $1 billion.
From there, the interviews move fast—a long call with the CEO himself, followed by conversations with chief technology officer Andrew “Boz” Bosworth and other Meta executives. Not everyone is keen to work for Wang, I’m told—though it hasn’t yet stopped Zuckerberg from recruiting nearly two dozen for the lab so far(Altman said that Meta didn’t get its “top people” and “had to go quite far down their list” at OpenAI). At OpenAI and Anthropic, you’ll still get gobs of money, and the missions center around more lofty goals like building artificial general intelligence that “benefits all of humanity.” Sources I spoke with who went through the interview process with Meta said it's become a way to test one's market value in the AI industry.
