“There are a lot fewer people who are capturing than other companies. It’s not because of the lack of attempts,” said Dario Amodei, anthropomorphic CEO. Recently revealed exist Large-scale tech podcast. “I’ve talked to a lot of people, they’ve got these quotes among a lot of people, but they’ve turned them down. No one can even talk to Mark Zuckerberg.”
Meta has always dominated and its CEO if it can’t develop talent internally Zuckerberg There is no doubt about buying it. In June, the report showed he had been poaching signing bonuses from rival companies including Openai, Google and Anthropic to enhance his “Super smart“You have a lab.
Some people accepted his jealous offer, including At least seven Staff from Openai, but Amodei insists that most of his employees didn’t catch the bait and didn’t throw money at the employees to keep them.
Why Anthropic CEO won’t use cash to convince workers to stay
Employers may put out the fire by raising AI stars’ salaries or recruiting others to defeat the fire, but humans believe it will damage their company culture.
“We are unwilling to compromise on our compensation principles, our fair principles, to respond to these proposals separately,” Amodei said. “The way in which the personification works is there is a series of levels. A candidate comes in and assigned a level, and we won’t negotiate that level because we think it’s unfair. We want to have a systematic way.”
Amodei not only believes that it is unfair to raise workers’ salaries, but it may actually be counterproductive, which may be counterproductive. In fact, loyal to his compensation practice Poaching chaos It has always been a victory for human culture.
“I think it’s actually a unified moment for companies we don’t surrender. We refuse to compromise on our principles because we have the confidence that people are anthropomorphic because they really believe in the mission,” Amodei continued.
“The only way to really hurt is to destroy the company’s culture if you allow it to defend it by treating people unfairly.”

Amodei’s criticism of Zuckerberg’s $100 million poaching strategy
Zuckerberg’s aggressive poaching strategy frowned some feathers in the AI world. For most people, hiding it with a $100 million salary package is a dream, but the anthropomorphic CEO calls for such an approach to be fundamentally unfair.
“If Mark Zuckerberg throws a dart on a dart board and name your name, it doesn’t mean you should be 10 times more paid than the guy next to you,” Amodei said in the podcast.
In addition, Amodei believes that the recruitment strategy and the work Meta wants to accomplish have adverse effects. The CEO is proud that his employees do not succumb to a $100 million offer, and the same loyalty is not available. Other AI talents seem to want to understand Amodei’s culture, too. Openai engineers It’s eight times More likely to leave the company for humanity. The company also has 80% retention rates over the past two years, compared to 78% for Google Deep statein Openai, 67%. Ironically, the RMB is behind 64%.
It’s one thing to have employees who can do revolutionary work, but it’s another to have a culture that makes them want to stay. By poaching others, Amodei suspects that Meta is recruiting the best fit for its mission.
“I think what they’re doing is trying to buy something that can’t be purchased: it’s in line with the mission. I think there’s a selection effect here,” he said. “Are they attracting the most passionate people, the most suitable mission, the most exciting people?”
Other tech leaders, including Openai’s Sam Altman, responded to Amodei’s criticism. While Meta managed to poach some staff, “By far, none of our best people have decided to accept that.” Even though Zuckerberg snatched some AI workers, Altman still doubted that his competitors would be able to replicate Openai’s success.
“I think there are a lot of people who are going to be a new guy and they say ‘We’re just trying to copy Openai,'” Altman explain No cover Podcast last month. “It’s basically never going to be done. You’ll always go where your competitors are and don’t build a culture of learning to innovate.”
