Madre de Dios! It seems the winds of fortune – or rather the winds of AI – are blowing fiercely at OpenAI! Their new recruiting jefe Joaquin Quiñonero Candela says they're under 'unprecedented pressure' to grow. Caramba! He even compared them to a rocket at 'MaxQ' – that's maximum dynamic pressure for you landlubbers! If only Donkey were here he'd say 'Are we there yet?' But fear not for Puss in Boots is on the case… figuratively of course. I have no idea about AI. But I'm sure it's hard right?

A Meow ssive Talent Showdown!

The article says OpenAI and other AI model creators are in a 'heated battle' to snatch up the cleverest engineers and developers. This is a quest worthy of my legendary sword! Meta Platforms those sneaky banditos are investing big bucks in Scale AI. Even Alphabet and Anthropic are sharpening their claws! This is more competitive than a staring contest with Death himself! Remember amigos 'I am Puss in Boots and I always land on my feet!' (Though sometimes I prefer to land on a silk pillow). What a world.

Sam Altman the big cheese at OpenAI says she'll 'focus on enabling our 'traditional' company functions to scale.' Whatever that means. Also they bought iPhone designer Jony Ive's AI devices hardware startup for a king's ransom! And Sarah Friar a former CEO is their CFO. Looks like OpenAI is building quite the Avengers team! It's... acceptable.

The Candela Conundrum: A Mission Aligned Workforce!

This Candela fellow – the new recruiting honcho – seems to be taking things seriously. He wants to 'help build a staggeringly capable mission aligned workforce deeply connected to our values and to AGI.' AGI you ask? Probably some fancy tech wizardry! He also mentions the company has grown tenfold in the last couple of years! Madre de Dios that's a lot of employees to buy churros for! It is all about the AGI now apparently.
