Dell CEO Michael Dell warns Meta's AI hiring spree may result in line of ‘complaining employees' outside CEO Mark Zuckerberg's office
Meta Platforms
. 'It'll be a challenge culturally for sure,' Dell said.
He further explained that offering higher pay to new hires could make current employees feel left out or underappreciated, which may result in friction within teams and create a long line of 'complaining' employees outside CEO Mark Zuckerberg's office.
Emphasizing the importance of fairness in the workplace, he stated 'People generally have a sense of fairness, right? They want to be treated fairly relative to others and relative to the opportunities that they have out there in the overall market.' Dell further stated that while Meta's strategy and the 'math' may work if this is reduced to a 'race to super intelligence,' but he also warned against the potential for internal conflict and dissatisfaction should not be overlooked.

Meta has significantly ramped up hiring through its Superintelligence Labs, launched in June to focus on artificial general intelligence (AGI). The company has hired talent from competitors such as OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, and Apple. This talent war has reshaped the AI sector and drawn mixed reactions from industry leaders.
Earlier, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also criticized Meta's hiring strategy, calling it 'distasteful' and suggesting it may create issues inside the company. Altman even hinted that OpenAI might need to review its compensation policies in response to Meta's aggressive poaching.
Reid Hoffman, cofounder of LinkedIn and former OpenAI board member, offered a different view. In an interview with CNBC, Hoffman said it makes economic sense for companies to spend big on AI talent if they want to stay ahead.

Russia imposes curbs on WhatsApp, Telegram calls
Russia announced curbs on calls on the WhatsApp and Telegram messenger apps on Wednesday, saying that this was necessary to fight criminality, state media reported. "In order to combat criminals, measures are being taken to partially restrict calls on these foreign messaging apps (WhatsApp and Telegram)," communications watchdog Roskomnadzor said, as quoted by the RIA and TASS news agencies.

Russian security services have frequently claimed that Ukraine was using Telegram to recruit people or commit acts of sabotage in Russia. Moscow wants the messengers to provide access to data upon request from law enforcement, not only for fraud probes but also for investigating activities that Russia describes as terrorist ones. Live Events "Access to calls in foreign messengers will be restored after they start complying with Russian legislation," Russia's digital ministry said. In a statement sent to AFP, Telegram said it "actively combats misuse of its platform, including calls for sabotage or violence, as well as fraud" and removes "millions of pieces of harmful content every day". Since launching its offensive in Ukraine, Russia has drastically restricted press freedom and freedom of speech online. "WhatsApp is private, end-to-end encrypted, and defies government attempts to violate people's right to secure communication, which is why Russia is trying to block it from over 100 million Russian people," a spokesperson for Meta-owned WhatsApp told AFP. More than 100 million people in Russia use WhatsApp for messages and calls, and the platform is concerned that this is an effort to push them onto platforms more vulnerable to government surveillance, according to the spokesperson. bur-gc/tym

Musk's bid to dismiss OpenAI's harassment claims denied in court
A federal judge on Tuesday denied Elon Musk's bid to dismiss OpenAI's claims of a "years-long harassment campaign" by the Tesla CEO against the company he co-founded in 2015 and later abandoned before ChatGPT became a global phenomenon. Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last year over the company's transition to a for-profit model.(REUTERS) In the latest turn in a court battle that kicked off last year, US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Musk must face OpenAI's claims that the billionaire, through press statements, social media posts, legal claims and "a sham bid for OpenAI's assets" had attempted to harm the AI startup. Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last year over the company's transition to a for-profit model, accusing the company of straying from its founding mission of developing AI for the good of humanity, not profit. OpenAI countersued Musk in April, accusing the billionaire of engaging in fraudulent business practices under California law. Musk then asked for OpenAI's counterclaims to be dismissed or delayed until a later stage in the case. OpenAI argued in May its countersuit should not be put on hold, and the judge on Tuesday concluded that the company's allegations were legally sufficient to proceed. A jury trial has been scheduled for spring 2026.
