😎 Cleared for takeoff

Taking to the skies was the EHang EH216-S — a two-seater eVTOL equipped with 16 propellers and 32 electric motors. It's the world’s first certified pilotless passenger aircraft.

🦴 $100M can’t buy vibes

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, speaking on the Uncapped podcast, accused Meta of poaching employees. According to him, Zuckerberg’s company has been offering staff bonuses of up to $100 million and high salaries.

However, Altman noted that “so far none of our best people have decided to take them up on that.” He believes employees are turning down the offers due to differing philosophies around AI.

Altman suggested that Meta is more focused on money and commercial success, rather than mission and purpose.

“There’s many things I respect about Meta as a company, but I don’t think they’re a company that’s great at innovation,” he concluded.
