TECH - Internet Reacts To Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff's OpenAI Talent Recruitment Drive: 'Living In A Real Life Episode Of Silicon Valley' | Benzinga
In a recent turn of events, Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), has attempted to recruit talent from OpenAI, garnering a variety of responses from the online community.
What Happened: Following a turbulent weekend at OpenAI, Benioff seized the opportunity to attract new talent, Business Insider reported. He offered immediate jobs and comparable remuneration to any OpenAI researcher willing to join Salesforce’s Einstein-Trusted AI research team.
Responses to Benioff’s offer have been diverse, ranging from indifference to outright rejection, and inevitably, some internet sarcasm. Notably, Boris Power, OpenAI’s head of applied research, and researcher Tony Wu openly declined the proposition.
Lol, like it was ever about compensation. We got >95% in less than 24 hours, and the compensation never crossed my mind! — Boris Power (@BorisMPower) November 20, 2023
Can you give us 700 of our amazing colleagues, then we may budge 🚀
Its kind of like we're living in ...
