This week, Meta made its second-largest acquisition ever, buying a major stake in AI company Scale AI for $21 billion. But that's just the beginning of Silicon Valley's most extreme talent war, where tech giants are offering $100 million signing bonuses to poach AI experts from competitors. In today's podcast, Sam and Billi unpack why companies like Meta, Google and Microsoft are offering nine-figure salaries to lure the best minds in artificial intelligence, why AI is so expensive, and a housemate rivalry.
Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Billi FitzSimons
