OpenAI boss says rivals Meta offering 100m for staff to jump ship

Sam Altman's comments are just the latest example of the leading figures in tech offering opinions on what their rivals are doing, with podcasts being a popular medium for these sometimes unflattering appraisals. On Joe Rogan's podcast in January, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg praised Apple's iPhone as "obviously one of the most important inventions probably of all time." But he added the company had recently "been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things." However, that put down is as nothing compared to Mr Zuckerberg's stormy relationship with fellow tech titan Elon Musk, with the pair threatening to fight each other in a cage. Musk is also currently involved in a legal battle with Sam Altman over the founding of OpenAI.
