This. The main reason OpenAI throws money at top level folks is because they can quickly replicate what they have at OpenAI elsewhere. Imagine you have a top level researcher who’s developed some techniques over multiple years that the competition doesn’t have. The same engineer can take them to another company and bring parity within months. And that’s on top of the progress slowing down within your company. I can’t steal IP, but but sure as hell can bring my head everywhere.

This is also a good reminder of how there's no moat in AI.

I'm glad if US and Chinese investors will bleed trillions on AI, just to find out few of your seniors can leave and found their own company and are at your level minus some months of progress.
