Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Mark Zuckerberg has personally reached out to hundreds of researchers, scientists, infrastructure engineers, product stars, and entrepreneurs to try to get them to join a new Superintelligence lab. He is offering them hundreds of millions of dollars and in at least one case discussed buying a startup outright. Despite the financial incentives, some potential candidates have been hesitant to join Meta. It is unclear how successful Zuckerberg's efforts will ultimately be - OpenAI has given counteroffers to people Meta has tried to poach.
