OpenAI Reportedly Shuts Down for a Week as Zuck Poaches Its Top Talent

The war for artificial intelligence becomes personal.

In recent days, after multiple Openai researchers left The company for meta, the rest of the rest was obviously violated. “A lot of people are not more people outside of society,” Ceng Lu, “Sent to Powna in X Openai in X Open June 29, said a post that announces the four-elite Chinese researcher of Zuckerberg or ZUCK.

Continued: “I feel really disappointed because the management does not keep them in Openai, and that the management does not keep them.”

The subsequently deleted, quickly went to viral. Silicone valley has gone superior to stay secret: the value of the emotional and psychological maya, which intelligence said.

The grief of workers comes as a raw demonstration String Open says this week is closed, relax and filled after a ruthless push to create artificial general intelligence (AGI). Inland, it is framed as a very needing break. However, this binding strike is like a health initiative and more panic button for a company locked in a brutal talent war.

The narrative of a liars torment crisis has been built in the months. The mission of building a god-like intelligence is not up to five to five. The reports within the industry depict 80 hours of work for researchers in the best AI laboratories. This work became a crusaded march that requires a general loyalty from the acolites. A technology that can solve the problems of all mankind for years, was enough to fuel this victim. The mission itself was compensation.

But now faith is tested. This is a catalyst meta for visible crisis. Openai engineers tweet as they have lost their favorite, Zuckerberg, the former Openai and Google Deepmind has been collected by a new elite AI team. At the end, if the AI ​​view continues to experience the experience of Chatgpt, especially the developer of ChatGPT, it is a silent, methodical power game.

This is what the “AI revolution” actually visible in 2025. Not only the code and chatbot demos, cure for research laboratories such as emotional fragmentation, brain drainage and fantasy football teams.

Openai’s burning problem is not new, but it becomes difficult to hide. The company opened a crisis and short firing of CEO Sam Altman, who has a crisis that exposes sustainable internal tension over the past two years, including many executive power.

Now the decision of the best researchers and others visible, the decision to take a break for the company’s health week, more like perk and more damage control. Openai is trying to solve a deep culture problem with a weekly band? By forcing everyone to go out the same time, try to turn a brief pipeline, and try to prevent employers running out of one by one. This is an attempt to stanche the bleeding.

The situation exposes the main tension in the center of AGI. The god building is an expensive and tiring job. For the first time, we see a very real human value of this technological weapon race. The question for Openai is that the mission is still very valuable than money, and whether a week’s weekly rest is a week to convince. For the rest, the world’s most ambitious company is also a sign that the cultibility of the world’s variable technology.

For all the headlines related to AI, which seized the world, the work we see in Openai is a deep man. To exhaustion. Sadness. Uncertainty. The best engineer in the most powerful laboratories even reaches their limits. And the most charged companies, which are most charged for “change everything”, are those who are the most common in the weight of their hype.

This moment is open for AI skeptics. Not because it proves that AI is not important, but the infrastructure really shows how fragile. Not servers or models, not people. The human brain behind the artificial ones.

If Openai will come, the future when the future is crying and receives forced Mental Health Week. If the meta wins the race, it remained cold enough to prevent all this.

Openai did not respond to a request for comment.
