The action taken by Sergey Brin is indicative of a wider pattern in which AI talent is being sought after by Big Tech organizations.
According to reports, Google cofounder Sergey Brin personally called a worker who was thinking about switching to OpenAI. According to The Information, which cited a “longtime AI researcher” as its source, Sergey Brin offered the employee more money during the call in an attempt to persuade them to remain in their position. The anonymous source claimed that the Google employee was a friend of theirs and that Sergey Brin’s action, which is part of a bigger pattern in Big Tech companies battling for AI expertise while the poll is still very tiny, reflects a larger trend. Nonetheless, the Big Tech industry is experiencing an unprecedented surge in demand for advanced AI expertise.
The AI plan of Mark Zuckerberg
Not just Google, but also other big tech firms are trying to pay exorbitant prices to each other to steal each other’s best employees. It has been revealed that Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, offered employment without interviews to AI researchers at Google’s DeepMind through personal emails. Mark Zuckerberg said in January that Nvidia’s highly sought-after H100 chips were in stock at Meta. By the end of 2024, he said to The Verge, Meta will have over 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs
Previously, Perplexity’s founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas claimed that his company’s lack of GPUs was the reason he was unable to hire a Meta employee.
“You know what they said when I attempted to hire a very senior researcher from Meta? “Return to me once you have ten thousand H100 GPUs,” he said.
Aravind Srinivas previously stated, “Don’t look at markets and decide, you know, don’t see, oh, the market wants a sales analyst product,” when discussing working in AI. I am going to construct it. Why design an AI for sales if you don’t even care about sales? The first person to use your product must be you, therefore create what you would use and what matters to you.”
