Would you be willing to give up your position at OpenAI, one of the most followed companies of the moment, to join Meta for a very nice check for $100 million? This is the dilemma that some OpenAI employees have reportedly faced, according to Sam Altman, the company's current CEO.
In the latest Uncapped podcast episode, hosted by Jack Altman's brother, who is none other than Sam Altman, the latter did not hesitate to reveal the practices of his competitors, and more specifically, Mark Zuckerberg's company...

Sam Altman criticizes the lack of innovation at Meta
In addition to highlighting the aggressive practices of his competitor, in his own words, and although he claimed to respect this way of doing things in Uncapped, Sam Altman did not hesitate to tackle Meta.
According to the CEO of OpenAI, this attempt by Meta unfortunately reflects its lack of innovation in artificial intelligence. According to Bloomberg, Mark Zuckerberg even decided to meet directly with some OpenAI experts, and went so far as to ask to change the entire layout of the company's headquarters in Menlo Park to launch a team dedicated to "superintelligence".
For his part, Sam Altman believes that Meta still knows "a lot" about the field, and does not seem worried by this competitor who seems to want to do everything to overtake him...
