“Compared to other companies, anthropic much fewer people were trapped. And it is not due to the lack of an attempt” Recently unveiled on the Big Technology Podcast. “I spoke to many people who received these offers from Anthropic and who simply rejected them. Who wouldn’t even talk to Mark Zuckerberg.”
Meta was on a tear to dominate the AI – and if the talent cannot grow internally, his CEO Pile of sugar Has no concerns to buy it instead. In June, reports showed that he had dared to employ employees at competitor companies (including Openai, Google and Anthropic) with $ 100 million for bonuses to improve his “Superintelligence“You have a laboratory.
Some have recorded its jealousy-inducing offer, including At least seven Openai employees, but Amodei insisted that most of his employees did not take the bait – and he did not throw any money on the employees to keep them.
Why the Anthropic CEO does not use any money to convince employees to stay
Employers can be tried to fight fire by fire by increasing the salaries of the AI stars or recruiting others in return – but anthropically she believes that this would affect his corporate culture.
“We are not ready to endanger our compensation principles, our fairness principles, to respond individually to these offers,” said Amodei. “The way things work at Anthropic is that there are a number of levels. A candidate comes in, a level is assigned to them, and we do not negotiate this level because we think it is unfair. We want to have a systematic way.”
Amodei not only believes that it is unfair to increase salaries so that his workers could go back in the mission of his company of his billion dollar company. In fact, they remain in his remuneration practices in the middle of the Poke Was a victory for Anthropics Culture.
“I think this was a uniform moment for the company in which we did not give in. We refused to compromise our principles because we had confidence that people are anthropical because they really believe in the mission,” Amodei continued.
“The only way that can really be injured is if you allow your company to destroy your company’s culture by wrongly treating people to defend the company.”

Amodeis criticism of Zuckerberg’s 100 million dollar -Wildering strategy
Zuckerberg’s aggressive wildcase strategy has dismantled some springs in the KI world. With a salary package of 100 million US dollars, most is a dream, but the anthropic CEO has described the practice for the fundamental unfair.
“When Mark Zuckerberg throws an arrow into a darts board and hits its name, it does not mean that they should be paid ten times more than the type next to them, which is just as talented,” said Amodei in the podcast.
In addition, Amodei believes that the attitude strategy is counterproductive, which wants to do Meta. The CEO is proud of its employees that it did not give in to the 100 million dollar offer -and the same loyalty cannot be bought. And other AI talents seem to want to want to culture in Amodeis. Engineers at Openaai were eight times It is more likely that the company leaves anthropically. The company has also had a participation of 80% for employees in the past two years compared to 78% on Google Deepmindand 67% at Openai. Ironically, Meta remains at 64%.
Employees who can do revolutionary work is one thing, but a culture that makes them remain with is another. By poaching others, Amodei doubts that Meta recruit the best adjustments for his mission.
“I think you are trying to buy something that cannot be bought. And that is the orientation of the mission. I think there are selection effects here,” he said. “Are you the most enthusiastic who are most excited who are most excited?”
Other technology leaders, including the Sam Altman of Openaai, have repeated amodeis criticism. Altman said that while managed to poach some employees, “no one of our best people has decided to accept them.” Although Zuckerberg snapped some of his AI workers, Altman is doubtful that his competitor can reproduce the same success of Openaai.
“I think there are many people, and Meta will be new, who say:” We will only try to copy Openai ” said on the Unpacked Podcast last month. “Basically, that never works.
