Ex-OpenAI board member warns Meta must move fast enough or risk losing top AI hires like Trapit Bansal to rivals

Meta has made headlines for its aggressive hiring of top AI researchers, including those from OpenAI, but former OpenAI board member Helen Toner has raised doubts over how long the company can hold on to this talent. Speaking to Bloomberg, Toner said Meta will have to prove it's moving fast in AI innovation or else face the risk of losing its new recruits to rival who stepped down from OpenAI's board in November 2023, pointed out that competition for AI expertise is intense, and Meta's latest hires may already be in the sights of other companies. 'They will be getting attempts to poach them back to other companies starting on day one,' she said in the recently set up a new AI division called Meta Superintelligence Labs, co-led by Alexandr Wang, founder and CEO of ScaleAI, and Nat Friedman, former GitHub CEO. This team has attracted multiple researchers from leading AI organisations, including OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic. One of the most high-profile hires is Indian-origin researcher Trapit Bansal, an alumnus of IIT Kanpur. Bansal, who previously worked at OpenAI, confirmed his move to Meta in a recent post on X, writing, 'Thrilled to be joining Meta! Superintelligence is now in sight.' OpenAI spokesperson Kayla Wood also confirmed Bansal's departure from the Meta has certainly made a strong impression with its new lineup of talent, Toner believes the real challenge lies ahead. According to her, the key test for Meta is not just to attract top minds but to create an environment where they can thrive. She warned that internal company politics and clashing egos could get in the way. 'There's a lot of organisational politics at play,' she added that companies like Meta need leadership that's willing to push back against internal resistance when needed. 'That takes a lot of willingness to stare down powerful people inside your company, who maybe don't want to lose and tell them that you actually don't want them to do what they want,' she said. She also questioned whether Mark Zuckerberg's personal involvement in the AI initiative would be enough to change the company's working style and foster recent $15 billion investment in ScaleAI has only added to its AI ambitions. As part of the deal, ScaleAI's Alexandr Wang now also serves as Meta's Chief AI Officer. With this move, Meta has made clear that it is serious about building advanced AI systems and competing with the likes of OpenAI and not everyone is convinced Meta's approach will work in the long run. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, during a recent podcast appearance, criticised Meta's strategy of offering massive upfront financial packages. He revealed that Meta has offered OpenAI employees signing bonuses worth as much as $100 million. According to Altman, this kind of compensation-first approach doesn't create the right culture. 'The strategy of a ton of upfront guaranteed comp and that being the reason you tell someone to join... I don't think that's going to set up a great culture,' he and Toner may have had their differences in the past — with Toner having supported Altman's ouster from OpenAI last year — but both seem to agree that throwing money at talent is not enough in the rapidly evolving AI race.- Ends

All About Truth Social: How Many Subscribers It Has, Who Are Prominent Users

When Trump Media and Technology Group and T Media Tech LLC launched Truth Social in February 2022, they claimed to offer an alternative to "big tech tyranny" and to protect users' freedom of speech. And despite US President Donald Trump using it to announce the most important policy and ceasefire decisions, the platform is struggling to retain its American user base. Truth Social's fading popularity received another blow when Trump's friend-turned-foe, Elon Musk, claimed he had never heard of the platform. His remark came hours after Trump attacked him for founding a new political party. " What's Truth Social?" Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter). In another post, he added, "Never heard of it". The Number Story Although Truth Social refuses to make user counts public, the site has about two million active users each month and 25.5 million visits. As of February 2024, research firm Similarweb reported there are roughly 5 million active users on the microblogging platform. Monthly users on two rival social media networks, Facebook and TikTok, are approximately 1 billion and 3 billion, during the same period. Truth Social's biggest issue is its inability to retain users, with about 49 per cent of people not using the app for at least 61 days. A typical user spends fewer than two days a week on the platform. According to the platform's user demographics, 43 per cent of active users are women and 57 per cent are men. The average monthly visits to the website, from May 2022 to April 2023, dropped by more than 39 per cent to little over 4 million from May 2023 to April 2024. According to three separate data organisations, Truth Social's monthly active user counts in the US dropped sharply in the last few months of 2023, as reported by CNBC. However, the platform's traffic increased in the first quarter of 2024 when Trump Media went public. Who All Are Using It Besides the US President, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined the Trump-owned microblogging platform back in 2019. PM Modi said he was "delighted" to be on the platform in his first post from March, which included a picture of him with Trump taken in Houston, Texas, during his 2019 US tour, BBC reported. Other prominent personalities on the social media platform include Donald Trump Jr, Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, Eric Trump, Dinesh D'Souza, Devin Nunes, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, among others. Republicans make up a large portion of the user base on the politically charged social media site. Democratic voters are quite unlikely to use the platform on a regular basis, let alone give it a try, reports say.
