OPENAI REPORTEDLY SHUTS DOWN FOR A WEEK AS ZUCK POACHES ITS TOP TALENT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

OpenAI is shutting down for an entire week to force its staff to rest and recharge. The shutdown is being framed internally as a much-needed break. The company appears to be in 'panic mode' as Meta recently poached several high-value employees. Its decision to pause for a wellness week feels less like a perk and more like damage control.
