Zuck just went nuclear in the AI talent war: $XXX M/4-yr packages weren’t enough, so he dangled a private “name-your-number” offer—rumored at $X B—to pry OpenAI’s CRO Mark Chen loose. Chen said no, blasted Meta’s raids as a “home invasion,” and OpenAI hit DEFCON-bonus: pay recalibrations, a one-week recharge shutdown, and 24/7 retention calls from Altman. For the finance desk: GPUs are pricing like commodities, elite researchers like scarce options—expect compensation expense, not cap-ex, to be the next line item that shocks your models.
