Meta Executive Refutes OpenAI’s Sam Altman’s $100 Million Signing Bonus Claims: ‘Sam Is Not Being Honest’ – ProShares Trust ProShares S&P 500 Dynamic Buffer ETF (BATS:FB)

A Meta Platforms Inc. executive has accused OpenAI’s Sam Altman of dishonesty regarding claims of $100 million signing bonuses aimed at luring AI researchers away from OpenAI. Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s Chief Technology Officer, rejected Altman’s assertions during a recent company meeting, stating that Altman’s implication that every individual was offered such large packages was exaggerated. While Altman noted on the “Uncapped” podcast that Meta had made substantial offers, he mentioned that no top talent had accepted these deals. Contradicting Altman’s claims, a number of researchers have moved to Meta, including Lucas Beyer, who confirmed his transition but disputed the existence of the massive bonuses. Bosworth argued that Altman’s perspective lacked context, claiming he was inflating the situation due to a competitive talent market in AI. These exchanges reveal the fierce rivalry in the AI sector and underscore the significant stakes involved in talent acquisition.
