AI Researcher Declines $1 Billion Offer From Mark Zuckerberg

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-12 12:07:35

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is absolutely tripping over himself to attract top AI talent to fill the ranks of his recently announced Superintelligence Labs — and he's willing to go to obscene lengths to make it happen. As Wired reports, more than a dozen people at Thinking Machines Lab, an AI startup founded by former OpenAI executive Mira Murati, were approached by Meta with ludicrous job offers. One individual was even offered more than $1 billion, paid out over several years, a source told Wir

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors that the newly formed Meta Superintelligence Labs is focused on building AI models that can self-improve—meaning they can learn from themselves without as much human input. The remarks came during a second-quarter earnings call on Wednesday. “At some level, [it’s] not just going to be learning from people, because you want to build something that is fundamentally smarter than people,” Zuckerberg said. “So…you’re going to develop a way for it to improve it

Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg is no stranger to bizarre videos. From the infamous clip where he declares his love for "Sweet Baby Ray's" barbecue sauce to the time he was recorded taking a Turing test, the tech founder has long found himself in awkward positions on camera. Still, none in recent memory can compare to a new video plugging Meta's so-called Superintelligence AI lab, which sees the newly dripped-out CEO stare directly into the camera — and, perhaps, through our souls — as he

Finally, a profession that has managed to successfully integrate artificial intelligence into its workflow: Crypto scammers. According to a report from blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, crypto scams are up 456% over the last year, due in large part to the ability to produce deepfake audio and video clips with artificial intelligence tools—making good on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s recent prediction/warning that a fraud crisis is just around the corner.
