Sam Altman says that the AI Talent War is a bet

And the Cutthroat competition doesn’t look like it will soon be relieved.

“In any case, this is the most intense talent market that I saw in my career”, CEO from Openaai Sam Altman told CNBC on Friday. “But if you think about the economic value that is created by these people and how much we spend on computing expenses, the market may stay that way. I am not quite sure what will happen, but it is a crazy intensive composition for a very small number of people at the moment.”

Just like small, this group of people is and what do you know that others do not do this, Andrew Sorkin asked CNBC.

“The hope is that you know how to discover the remaining ideas to achieve superintelligence, there will be a handful of algorithmic ideas and, as you know, medium-sized people who can find out,” replied Altman.

This would help to explain the astronomical amounts that are willing to poach a talent with an offer to poach AI talent Accordingly transferred 1 billion US dollars.

Altman said in June This meta had made “many people in our team” huge offers “, some with a total of” 100 million US dollars that sign bonuses and more than this (in) compensation per year. ”

Meta is too Invest 14.3 billion US dollars in scale And stopped the CEO of the startup, Alexandr Wang, as a superintelligence team.

While an immense assets are thrown on a handful of top engineers, Altman estimated that the number of intelligent people who are intelligent enough to achieve the breakthroughs of superintelligence is actually much, much larger.

“I bet it is much bigger than people think, but they know that some companies have decided in the room that they will pursue a few shiny names,” he told CNBC. “I think there are probably many thousands of people we could find, and probably tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people in the world who are able to do this kind of work.”
