The unprecedented scale of Meta's $100M individual compensation offers marks a critical inflection point where AI talent acquisition costs have reached nation-state levels. This represents the first time in history where private companies are offering individual technologists compensation packages equivalent to controlling advanced weapons systems, signaling the prophetic shift of power from traditional governments to technology entities.

📰 What Happened
Anthropic cofounder Benjamin Mann revealed that his AI company's staff remained unmoved by Meta's offers of $100 million compensation packages. Speaking on Lenny's Podcast, Mann indicated these packages were spread over 4 years. Despite intense competition for AI talent among tech giants, Anthropic has retained its mission-focused team. The company, founded in 2020 by former OpenAI executives concerned about AI safety, has maintained stability while other firms lost staff to lucrative offers.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The fierce battle for AI control between Meta's profit-driven approach ($100M offers) and Anthropic's mission-focused resistance parallels Daniel's prophecy about knowledge increasing and many running to and fro (Daniel 12:4). Mann's statement that 'it's only going to get crazier' and the unprecedented scale of talent poaching aligns with Revelation 13's warning about technological control systems. The mass exodus of safety-focused researchers from OpenAI to Anthropic (nearly half the division) mirrors the prophetic separation of those concerned with ethical constraints versus those pursuing unrestricted advancement.
