Inside days of becoming a member of Meta, Shengjia Zhao, co-creator of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, had threatened to stop and return to his former employer, in a blow to Mark Zuckerberg’s multibillion-dollar push to construct “private superintelligence.”
Zhao went so far as to signal employment paperwork to return to OpenAI. Shortly afterwards, in keeping with 4 folks aware of the matter, he was given the title of Meta’s new “chief AI scientist.”
The incident underscores Zuckerberg’s turbulent effort to direct essentially the most dramatic reorganisation of Meta’s senior management within the group’s 20-year historical past.
