    Supposedly Microsoft is now offering direct compensation, including the odd stock options thing transferring to equivalent stock options in Microsoft, to any Open AI employees for switching to Microsoft.

    Watch the entire company, worth $90 billion a week ago, vanish in the course of a week. Wild.

      Not just Microsoft either, the Salesforce CEO went on Twitter offering to match whatever OpenAI was offering employees if they jump ship. Poaching in the industry is common, but you rarely see a CEO publicly announce it like this.

      Everyone smells the blood in the water and wants to scoop up OpenAI talent. With welcome mats rolled out at several companies, and public dissent with the board and new CEO, OpenAI might actually lose the majority of their employees.
