What I don't get is that they are gunning for the people that brought us the innovations we are working with right now. How often does it happen that someone really strikes gold a second time in research at such a high level? It's not a sport.

One of the near top signals of this AI bubble.

In this hype cycle, you are in late 1999, early 2000.

Quality over quantity.

Apparently its better to pay $100 million for 10 people than $1 million for 1000 people.
