The sums on offer are eye-watering: a rumoured $200m-plus to prise away the head of Apple's AI models. Open AI executives are said to be 'recalibrating' compensation in order to ward off Mr Zuckerberg. But hiring hotshots makes sense only if you believe that talent is portable, and that superstars will continue to shine in their new organisations. Opinion Columns Bartleby Business
