Now why don’t the top handful of AI employers get together and get some kind of salary cap in place before they ruin the business?A.I. Researchers Are Negotiating $250 Million Pay Packages. Just Like N.B.A. Stars.
A.I. technologists are approaching the job market as if they were Steph Curry or LeBron James, seeking advice from their entourages and playing hardball with the highest bidders.
Mr. Zuckerberg wanted Mr. Deitke, a 24-year-old artificial intelligence researcher who had recently helped found a start-up, to join Meta’s research effort dedicated to “superintelligence,” a technology that could hypothetically exceed the human brain. The company promised him around $125 million in stock and cash over four years if he came aboard.
The offer was not enough to lure Mr. Deitke, who wanted to stick with his start-up, two people with knowledge of the talks said. He turned Mr. Zuckerberg down.
So Mr. Zuckerberg personally met with Mr. Deitke. Then Meta returned with a revised offer of around $250 million over four years, with potentially up to $100 million of that to be paid in the first year, the people said. The compensation jump was so startling that Mr. Deitke asked his peers what to do. After many discussions, some of them urged him to take the deal — which he did.
Silicon Valley’s A.I. talent wars have become so frenzied — and so outlandish — that they increasingly resemble the stratospheric market for N.B.A. stars.
Just sayin': Would anybody here turn down a $250M job offer?

well there was that whole no-poaching thing when Jobs was still alive.Now why don’t the top handful of AI employers get together and get some kind of salary cap in place before they ruin the business?
This kind of stuff just totally spoils software for me. People used to code for the love of the craft now it’s just about money.
Don’t get me started on transfer windows.well there was that whole no-poaching thing when Jobs was still alive.
College football is a big businessDon’t get me started on transfer windows.
People should work for the minimum and never be allowed to leave. Only the CEO should make millions and be able to job hop.
Big business is going down the shitter faster than college football.
