After sharing a picture of three OpenAI employees who&#8217;d joined Meta, Wang had <a href=\"https:\/\/officechai.com\/ai\/you-may-recognize-them-from-livestreams-metas-ai-chief-trolls-openai-on-new-poached-employees\/\">quipped <\/a>&#8220;you may recognize them from livestreams&#8221;, rubbing in the fact that Meta had managed to poach away some of OpenAI&#8217;s top researchers who&#8217;d appeared in their public-facing demos. OpenAI employees now seem to be hitting back by highlighting some of the more dubious aspects of Meta&#8217;s work. It remains to be seen how these battles shape in the coming months, but at the moment, there seems to be no love lost between Meta and OpenAI employees, even on public platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Meta had poached several OpenAI employees with multi-hundred million dollar job offers, the knives seem to be out in the open
