META TRIED TO BUY ILYA SUTSKEVER'S $32 BILLION AI STARTUP, BUT IS NOW PLANNING TO HIRE ITS CEO

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Mark Zuckerberg's AI hiring spree has now turned to Daniel Gross, the CEO of Ilya Sutskever's startup Safe Superintelligence, and former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman. Meta tried to acquire Safe Superintelligence earlier this year, but its efforts were rebuffed. Zuckerberg started negotiating with Gross soon after those talks ended. Both Gross and Friedman will join Meta and work on products under Alexandr Wang. Meta will get a stake in NFDG, a venture capital firm run by Gross and Friedman.
