President of OPENAI SAM Altman hits the recent madness of AI Meta Zuckerberg’s talents. In full Gardin, the response sent to Openai researchers on Monday evening and obtained by Wired, Altman made his position, why staying at OpenAI is the only answer for those who want to build an artificial general interview, indicating that the company evaluates compensation for the entire research organization.

He also rejected Meta recruitment efforts, saying what the company is doing, can lead to deep cultural problems on the road.

“We went from some nerds in a corner to the most interesting people in the technology industry (at least),” he wrote in Slack. “Al Twitter is toxic; the finish behaves in a way that seems a bit distasteful; I assume that in the future matters become even more crazy. After release and I came back, I said that it was not the craziest thing that would happen in open history; it is certainly not.”

The message appears on the heels of a sedate Zuckerberg announcement. On Monday, Meta CEO sent a note to the staff depicting a fresh team of the company’s superintelligence that will be managed by Alexandr Wang earlier Ai Scale and Nat Friedman, who previously conducted Githuba. The list of fresh employees also included many people from Opeli, including Shengjia Zhao, Shuchao Bi, Jiahui Yu and Hongyu Ren. The research director of Opeli, Mark Chen, told employees that it seemed that “someone broke into our house and stole something.”

Altman hit his note on Monday.

“Certainly the finish line received a few wonderful people, but generally it is difficult to overestimate how much they did not get their best people and they had to go down their list quite far; they tried to recruit people for a very long time, and I lost how many people tried to be their main scientist,” he wrote. “I am proud of how our industry oriented on the mission is the whole; of course there will always be mercenaries.”

He added that “missionaries would overcome mercenaries” and noticed that OpenAI assessed compensation for the entire research organization. “I think there is a lot more attention for open actions than the finish line,” he wrote. “However, I think that it is important that a huge advantage occurs after a huge success; what the meta does, in my opinion, will lead to very deep cultural problems. We will have more about it, but it is very important to me, we do it honestly, and not only for people who aim.”

Altman then made his pitch so that people could stay in Openai. “I’ve never been more confident in our research map,” he wrote. “We set up unprecedented factories for calculating, but I love that we do it and I am sure that we will use it well. Most importantly, I think we have the most unique band and culture in the world. We work to improve our culture for sure; we went through a crazy hypergrrowth. But we have a core in a sense that I don’t think I don’t think Problems. “

“Or maybe more importantly, we care about the construction of Aga in good condition,” he added. “Other companies care more about this as an instrumental goal of another mission. But this is our best thing and it will always be. Long after the finish went to the next taste of the week or defend their social moat, we will be here, day after year, wondering how to do what we do better than anyone else. Many other efforts will increase and fall.”

Many high wounded employees who worked in the finish line were followed in Slack with their own stories about why OpenAi culture is better. “[T]Hey, keep turning their highest concentration, “one wrote,” yes, we are strange and strange, but this makes this place a magical cradle of innovation, “wrote one.” OpenAi is strange in the most magical way. We make a lot. “
