Open AI’s talent is being poached for eye-watering numbers 

Being paid $100 million to join a team sounds like something from the NFL or NBA, but it’s happening in Silicon Valley too. OpenAI’s talent is being poached by other tech giants, with Meta reportedly offered signing bonuses that large to steal talent and offering salaries in the millions. 

 

Could website and content owners cash in on AI?  

Cloudflare wants to help. When newspapers, magazines, and other content creators started putting their content online it was largely free, and even if it wasn’t, they still allowed Google to crawl it since having your website be discovered was worth it. That math shifted over the years, and now with AI those same content creators are debating if they should do something different this time around.   

Cloudflare —a content delivery network— has a new feature aimed to help websites if they want to start charging for AI bots and agents to scrape their sites and use their service. They’re offering an auction system or a flat fee, and Cloudflare will be the broker for the transaction.
