Inside The Talent War Between Meta and OpenAI
Meta Offers Top Talent $100M Each To Switch Sides

Sam Altman just casually dropped that Meta offered OpenAI employees up to $100 million each to jump ship, and somehow, not one of them did. Yes, you read that right. Nine figures. To change teams. And still, no takers.
The revelation came during a recent podcast appearance, where Altman framed the situation less like a competitive hiring market and more like an all-out talent war. Meta wasn’t trying to play nice; they were clearly going for the throat. According to Altman, they see OpenAI as their top rival in the AI arms race, and they’re putting serious cash behind that belief.
Surprisingly, Altman didn’t sound bitter. In fact, he almost sounded amused, maybe even a little proud. Because when someone waves that kind of money at your team and they don’t budge, it says something. And it’s not just about loyalty. It’s about culture, purpose, and maybe even a shared belief that the work they’re doing matters more than a monster bonus. Of course, it helps that OpenAI isn’t exactly handing out pizza coupons either. But there’s clearly more at play than just salaries.
This whole situation gives us a sharp look at how fierce the AI talent competition has become. We’re way past tech perks and beanbags. This is top-dollar bidding for minds that could shape the future of intelligence itself.
Still, if the best people aren’t swayed by eye-watering offers, maybe it’s not just about the money after all. Maybe building something that feels meaningful is still the biggest incentive in the room.

ChatGPT now connects with everything: Gmail, Slack, calendars, and more. Here’s how to use it.

The Post-Meeting MVP

OpenAI launched Record, a powerful new feature in the ChatGPT Mac desktop app for Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Edu users
Hit Record, speak freely, and ChatGPT transcribes everything live. Once you’re done, one click turns your words into a structured canvas: clean summary, time-stamped highlights, action items, and open questions.
Unlike traditional bots, nothing joins your call. Everything happens locally, with audio deleted after transcription and enterprise-grade privacy by default. Whether you're wrapping a team sync or capturing a spontaneous brainstorm, it transforms meetings from fleeting moments into reusable context—without you ever needing to write things down.

If you’ve just recorded a team sync using ChatGPT’s new Record feature, this prompt helps you turn that transcript into something useful. Clear decisions, action items, and a recap you can actually send.
1) Open ChatGPT’s Mac/desktop App
Make sure you’re using a Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu account.
2) Start Recording Your Meeting
Click the Record button in the bottom left corner of the app before or during your sync. You can pause/resume anytime during the session.
3) Hit Send
Once your meeting ends, click Send. ChatGPT will automatically generate a Canvas containing the full transcript, a summary, and key bullets.
4) Paste the Prompt Below into the Chat
In the same chat window (with the Canvas already loaded), paste this prompt:
I just recorded a weekly sync with ______ using the Record feature.
Please review the transcript and summarize the key points discussed, including major themes, updates, or issues raised.
Identify any decisions made and who made them, flag any open questions or blockers that need follow-up, and list all action items with suggested owners and deadlines.
Then, based on this, write a concise internal recap I can post in Slack or email to the team.
Keep the tone clear and professional, but friendly—aimed at keeping everyone aligned without repeating everything that was said.
If any insights, risks, or patterns emerge from the conversation, include those as a final bullet at the end.
5) Get Your Output
ChatGPT will return a clean, structured overview of the meeting complete with a ready-to-send recap and action items you can drop straight into Slack, Notion, or email.
6) Share It With Your Team
Review and tweak if needed, then copy and share the recap with your team.
