Because lack of talent and organizational disfunction matters a lot more than you think. The reason why OAI and Ant are always at the top is because of this and I’d say compute is third on the list.

I would argue that they actually don’t lack talent, they have an insane bench of really smart people. What they lack is any sort of direction and leadership. They are a ship lost in the ocean and up until now have been lucky to find a few treasures along the their way.

Filtered heavily into those who care only about money. Many don’t want to work there. Smart people have other choices.

Thank you. I agree. I hope this is the new learned sentiment for Meta employees.

Smart? Check.

Money-obsessed and soulless? Check.
