Isn't the real story in this one that he's on the hunt for OpenAI's current and former developers - presumably to steal the technology from them and catch up with his huge backlog.

By the way, he managed to buy only a few for such an unsane salaries. The workers of the Thinking Machines Lab - also mostly former OpenAI workers, led by Mira Murati, former technical director of OpenAI - rejected Zuckerberg without exception.

And the reason was that they don't like Meta's management, company style and morale, they don't want to work for him!!! :) :) :)

They did all this despite being offered 100 to 200 times higher salaries!!!

Show me just one professional soccer player - or any professional athlete - who has similar principles, not just sign where he earns more!

Anyway, probably it's better for Zuckerberg, too, long term, as his vision about the smart glasses (or how the english calls it) will be as big failure as the metaverse dream was.
