Salesforce will match comp of any OpenAI researcher who resigns

And so the scramble for the carcass begins. MSFT will need to move quickly to avoid having their new division poached.

It's the way of the money, not necessary the way of speed :)

But, fun to look at, isn't it?

I'm rather surprised it took so long time for the others to jump the possibilities

Salesforce Einstein is built on top of OpenAI. Given that they're a big competitor of Microsoft's, not sure how easy it will be for them to pivot to Azure OpenAI should OpenAI vaporize.

Some commentors here seriously tried to argue with me that some of this grade AAA talent will be undesirable now. Ha... I don't think so y'all. The board though? Yeah... Fully less employment offers for them.

Who would jump ship from OpenAI to Salesforce, if they could follow Sam Altman to Microsoft?

All of this news is really insane.

OpenAI spontaneously combusting was not on my November 2023 bingo card
