We need a Woj for AI signings and trades
Sam Altman says Meta is offering $100M signing bonuses to OpenAI staff. Not $100M annual compensation, just the signing bonus! He clowned Meta: “that’s not how you build a great culture.” Also said none of OpenAI’s best people are leaving. This AI talent war is crazy.

Day 3 of NY Tech Week delivered. Huge turnouts, hot takes, and hallway convos worth quoting. And we’re not slowing down (yet). Day 4 kicks off with 20+ events before 9:30am!

We asked the Citizens Private Bank (@CitizensBank) team why they along with @tryramp sponsored the #Prompt2Product Agent.ai build, and they kept it simple: #NYTechWeek lets them invest directly in the communities they want to see grow. Grateful for the stage and the talent in the room.
