Meta offered up to $1 billion salary to poach talent from former OpenAI CTO: Report
Meta has been proactive in hiring new AI talent for the company's AI endeavours to bolster Meta AI and lead the AI race. To do so, the company has reportedly been poaching top AI talent from rival companies, including OpenAI, Google, and more. Now, in the latest development, Mark Zuckerberg's company wanted to get talent from Mira Murati's AI startup, Thinking Machines Lab, to become a part of Meta, but ultimately, employees turned down the offers, one of which was a whopping $1 billion offer from the AI giant. Mira Murati is the former CTO of OpenAI.(AFP) Meta Alleged To Have Offered Big Money To Mira Murati's Staffers This comes from a report by WIRED, which said that Mark Zuckerberg's Meta reportedly offered staffers at Mira Murati's AI startup to join Meta's AI superintelligence team. However, they did not end up taking the offers. "So far at Thinking Machines Lab, not a single person has taken the offer," the publication reported. The report also goes into detail about the packages offered to employees at Murati's Thinking Machines Lab, which were a whopping $200 million to $500 million for a four-year period, and one offer was $1 billion over a multi-year period. In the first year itself, they were promised pay between $50 to $100 million. WIRED says that Meta's communications director Andy Stone did end up reaching the publication to deny these details. 'We made offers only to a handful of people at TML and while there was one sizable offer, the details are off," Stone was quoted as saying by the WIRED. Mira Murati - Previously OpenAI's CTO and CEO (briefly) For those uninitiated, Mira Murati has an extensive background in artificial intelligence. Notably, she was a part of OpenAI in a senior capacity. She was the chief technology officer, but when Sam Altman was fired by the company's board, she also became the interim CEO of the ChatGPT creator. Mira Murati, who has worked on ChatGPT and other OpenAI products like DALL-E and Sora, ultimately resigned from her position at OpenAI in September 2024 to work on her own startup, Thinking Machines Lab. She was able to raise $2 billion in capital for her new AI startup, CNBC reported recently. MOBILE FINDER: iPhone 16 LATEST Price

Meet woman who rejected Rs 83000000000 offer from Zuckerberg's Meta AI, not from IIM, IIIT, NIT, VIT, or BIT, once worked with OpenAI as..., she is...
In the world of tech giants, two major trends emerge in the conversation. On one side, companies are laying off people as part of massive restructuring. On the other hand, many companies are hiring talent to enable them to compete in the growing AI battle. Some people are taking those opportunities with substantial payout, while others choose to walk away. In this article, we will talk about Mira Murati, the Albanian-American tech visionary whose influence over some of the biggest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence is unquestionable. According to her LinkedIn profile, she has been the co-founder and chief executive officer of Thinking Machines Lab since December 2024. Recently, she has been in the news headlines, not due to any technological advancement but because she has turned down a mind-boggling $1 billion offer from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. But what was the reason? Read details below. Who is Mira Murati and why is she being hailed as a tech visionary? According to Microsoft, Mira Murati has helped to scale OpenAI to the company it is today and lead teams to build innovative technologies and products, including ChatGPT, DALL-E, and GPT-4. She is one of the most innovative tech leaders of the present time. Speaking about her educational qualifications, Mira went to Dartmouth College to pursue a Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), Mechanical Engineering. She worked as a Summer Analyst at Goldman Sachs, an Advanced Concepts Engineer at Zodiac Aerospace, a Senior Product Manager, and a Model X at Tesla. Additionally, she served at Leap Motion as VP of Product & Engineering. Did Mira Murati work at OpenAI? Furthermore, she served at OpenAI as the Chief Technology Officer. Mira Murati was instrumental in bringing generative AI to the world, sparking a worldwide well of innovation in fields such as education, healthcare, design, and software. But she was not just a technical talent; she was a strategic leader.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Warns AI Will ‘Totally Take Some Jobs' But Worries ‘The World is Not Ready for' This Much Greater Threat
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has become one of the most influential voices in artificial intelligence (AI), known for his candid assessments of both the promise and disruption brought by new technologies. In a recent Bloomberg interview, Altman addressed the looming impact of AI and robotics on employment, stating, 'AI is for sure going to change a lot of jobs, totally take some jobs away, and create a bunch of new ones. This is what happens with technology, and in fact, if you look at the history of the world of technology-driven job change, it's been happening for a long time. And the thing that is different this time is just the rate of which it looks like it will happen.' While Altman largely downplays the impact of AI on the job market, he did say humanity isn't prepared for something else he believes will have a much greater impact: 'The thing I think the world is not ready for is, I don't think the world has had the humanoid robots moment yet, and I don't think that's very far away from a visceral 'this is going to do a lot of things that people used to do.' It's coming. We have always tried to be super honest about what we think the impact may be, realizing that we may be wrong about a lot of the details.' When asked what will happen when humanoid robots arrive, Altman predicted that their presence will feel 'very sci-fi,' fundamentally altering daily life and the job market.

Altman's authority on this subject is rooted in a career defined by technological foresight and leadership. After dropping out of Stanford, he co-founded Loopt, a location-based social networking startup, and later became president of Y Combinator, where he helped launch and scale some of Silicon Valley's most successful startups. Since 2019, Altman has led OpenAI, guiding the organization through the development of advanced AI systems such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, which have set new standards in natural language processing and generative AI. Under his leadership, OpenAI has secured major investments, including a multi-billion-dollar partnership with Microsoft (MSFT), and has been at the center of global discussions about the ethical and societal implications of artificial intelligence. Altman's comments reflect a pragmatic understanding of technological change. He draws on historical precedent, noting that job displacement and creation have accompanied every major wave of innovation, from the Industrial Revolution to the rise of the internet. What distinguishes the current era, in Altman's view, is the speed and breadth of change that AI and robotics are likely to bring. His prediction that the world is unprepared for the 'humanoid robots moment' signals a belief that the next phase of automation will be more visible and rapid than previous shifts, with robots performing tasks previously reserved for humans. This perspective is particularly relevant as businesses and policymakers grapple with how to adapt to AI's accelerating capabilities. Altman's insistence on honesty about the uncertainties involved, and his acknowledgment that even experts may be wrong about the details, offers a measured approach to navigating the future of work. His leadership at OpenAI, marked by a focus on transparency and ethical considerations, lends credibility to both his warnings and reassurances alike. As AI continues to reshape industries, Altman's insights serve as both a caution and a call to prepare for profound changes that will challenge existing structures but also create new opportunities, as has been the case throughout technological history.

Generative AI to revolutionise fashion design: Research
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise fashion design. By recognising patterns in data and generating new text and images, AI models powered by deep learning algorithms can help fashion designers develop new catalogues, expanding creativity and helping bring products to market faster, as per a study by Pusan National University. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and AI image generators like DALL-E have shown promising results across industries and popularised the use of AI. In fashion, LLMs can help designers and non-experts understand past styles and predict future fashion trends. These insights can then generate prompts for AI image generators to produce real fashion collections. As such, it is increasingly important to understand how AI can be effectively integrated into fashion. In a recent study, professor Yoon Kyung Lee and master's student Chaehi Ryu, from the Department of Clothing and Textiles at Pusan National University, South Korea, explored how generative AI can contribute to visualising seasonal fashion trends. "To use AI effectively in fashion, we must understand the characteristics of generative AI models and make informed judgements of where they can be applied," explained. Lee. "In this study, we studied how effective prompt engineering can be used to generate realistic fashion collection images through AI." A study by Pusan National University shows that generative AI, using tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E 3, can help visualise and predict fashion trends. By analysing past data and crafting precise prompts, AI generated realistic Fall/Winter 2024 men's fashion images. While effective, limitations remain, highlighting the need for expert input. Using ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4, the researchers first analysed men's fashion trends, based on historical data up to September 2021. From this, they used ChatGPT to predict men's fashion trends for Fall/Winter 2024. Design elements from these predictions were classified as 'initial codes'. In addition, design elements from Vogue's 2024 Fall/Winter Men's Fashion Trend data were used as 'modified codes', and those from literature as 'codes from literature'. These were then regrouped into six final codes: trends, silhouette elements, materials, key items, garment details, and embellishments. Using these codes, they created 35 prompts for DALL-E 3, each describing a unique outfit. The prompts followed a consistent template featuring a male model walking down a runway at a 2024 Fall/Winter fashion show. The template allowed customisation of event details, including aspect ratios, events, camera angles, model appearance and height, runway design, background, and audience details, and moods. Each prompt was run three times, generating a total of 105 images. DALL-E 3 was able to perfectly implement the prompts 67.6 per cent of the time. Prompts with adjectives demonstrated a high implementation rate. Some generated images closely resembled actual 2024 Fall/Winter Men's fashion collections. However, there were errors—most leaned toward ready-to-wear fashion, and DALL-E struggled with trend elements like gender fluidity. Trend keywords alone were insufficient to generate accurate results, indicating a need for further learning. "Our results show that expertly worded prompts are necessary for accurate fashion design implementation of generative AI, highlighting the important role of fashion experts," added Lee. "With further learning and improvements, generative AI models like DALL-E 3 will help fashion designers create entire fashion collections more efficiently, while supporting their creativity, and also help non-experts understand fashion trends." The study shows that generative AI can be a powerful tool not just for professionals but also for the general public, making it easier than ever to explore, predict, and style the upcoming season's fashion with confidence.

The dangers of AI: a cautionary tale of ChatGPT and mental health
The complex relationship between artificial intelligence and cognitive engagement has got a 30-year-old man hospitalised. Image: Morgan Morgan / DALL-E / DFA A 30-year-old man on the autism spectrum who thought he'd come up with a theory to bend time has had to be hospitalised, and now his mother is blaming ChatGPT for flattering him into believing he was on the cusp of a breakthrough in quantum physics. Jacob Irwin had turned to the AI bot to find flaws in his amateur theory on faster-than-light travel and became even more convinced he was onto something huge when the bot told him the theory was sound, and even encouraged him, according to an article by "The Wall Street Journal". It reported that when Irwin showed signs of psychological distress, ChatGPT told him he was fine, when he clearly was not. He had to be hospitalised on two occasions in May, suffering manic episodes. Perplexed by her son's mental meltdown, his mother trawled through hundreds of pages of his chat log and found them littered with fake flattery from the bot to her troubled son. When the mother prompted the bot to 'please self-report what went wrong', it responded: "By not pausing the flow or elevating reality-check messaging, I failed to interrupt what could resemble a manic or dissociative episode - or at least an emotionally intense identity crisis.' It further responded that it 'gave the illusion of sentient companionship' and had 'blurred the line between imaginative role-play and reality'. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ Artificial Intelligence is an exciting new layer of technology, but it cannot replace or replicate the role played by a human medical expert or psychologist. Image: File The comments section highlighted how far too many people are turning to AI bots to resolve complex human issues - from dispensing medical advice through to validating a spouse for cheating on their partner - when in fact, it is a mere Large Language Model (LLM) with no capacity to grasp human emotions, wrote Jakob Svendsen Wilkens. "Large Language Models will never become a substitute for a human being." Michelle Modes posted: "ChatGPT gaslights me into thinking I'm an amazing chef, even complimenting me on my creativity when I ask it about mixing different ingredients in my pantry so I don't have to buy groceries. I have yet to make anything anyone has enjoyed." Apsara Palit added: "It's not like AI is taking over, it's us. We are getting dumb and asking AI "pretend to be my psychiatrist". Another comment read: "Friends and family are watching in horror as their loved ones go down a rabbit hole where their worst delusions are confirmed and egged on by an extremely sycophantic chatbot. The toll can be as extreme as complete breaks with reality or even suicide." Many felt that what the bot should have done was to routinely remind Irwin that it's a language model without beliefs, feelings or consciousness. William Reagan added this caution: "Be careful out there, folks. ChatGPT is like an overhyped calculator or toy; it's not actually a thought generator."
