    The new lawsuit said Li began working as an engineer for xAI last year, where he helped train and develop Grok. The company said Li took its trade secrets in July, shortly after accepting a job from OpenAI and selling $7 million in xAI stock.

    I must say that it’s going to be a bitch-and-a-half to retain core engineers if people are walking away at $7 million/year.

    Looks like he only started working in industry in 2023, too (though was doing relevant work as a graduate student prior to that).
