Mark Zuckerberg just wrote the biggest talent-check in tech history - $2.5 B (about $300 M per head) to poach eight of the minds behind GPT-4 and launch “Meta Super-Intelligence Labs.” We unpack how Zuck assembled his AI Avengers, why elite researchers now cost more than NBA rosters, and what this arms race means for OpenAI, Anthropic, and the entire job market. You’ll hear the back-story on secret dinner pitches, eye-watering sign-on bonuses, and whether Meta’s next frontier model will stay open-source or slam the vault shut. Stick around for hard truths about junior dev jobs, the three skills that will keep you relevant, and a few spicy predictions for the road to super-intelligence.
