Zuck just poached another Chinese AI star. Ruoming Pang, who led Apple’s Foundation Models team, is joining Meta’s Superintelligence team. Wild that Apple has ~100 people working on “Apple Intelligence” like Genmoji. What’s stopping Apple from poaching AI talent like Zuck? https://x.com/Yuchenj_UW/status/1942350289375461719

Sam Altman was asked how he felt about Zuck and Meta poaching OpenAI’s top talent. “Fine… good…” he said. Behind Jony Ive–designed glasses, I couldn’t see his eyes. But I could feel the pain.
