"Meta" means "dead" in Hebrew. He didn't steal, in this case, shit. He's just rubbing our noses in it. More specifically, it means to obtain the highest reaches of "heaven." Which if you know anything about their inversion tactics (new band name, called it): they think this company will finally bring hell on earth. Do with that information what you will.
It also was literally the big otherworld in Persona 5 just a few years before Zuck started using it. Which is equally likely to be the kind of low effort, trend chasing shit he would go with.
I guess they were trying to poach him from a company that was already paying him enough that he was happy to stay. $1.25 billion is a lot of money, but unless you have extremely high aspirations a far smaller sum is still enough to set you and your entire family up for life.
Which means they think it's worth it. Which is kinda scary, when you think about it. They probably used AI to make it a mathematical certainty that it would be a profitable decision.
To get good enough to be worth that kind of money, you have to be single-mindedly obsessed with the technology itself, to the point where there is no practical difference between making enough to live comfortably and being a billionaire. All you want to do is be the best AI researcher conducting the best AI research.
No idea if these rumors about offers are true or not, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they were.
I was just informed of someone offering Hunter Biden 1300 trillion for 4 minutes of work. He said no btw.
The lack of skepticism on display here is upsetting.
People should still call it facebook before it stole the word meta.

Considering the meta verse was something from Second Life years ago, yes Facebook did steal it.
The term metaverse goes back even farther to Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash. That didn't start with Second Life.
It wasn't a coincidence, both Facebook and Linden Labs founders have read that book.

How much of that $1.25b was hard cash and not stock options with time limits?

Yeah he was a founder of another AI company, and so presumably this is to compensate for losing his equity. Still though, it’s a wild amount of salary

Probably not offered in salary but stocks.
He must really hate the Zuck!

$1 m per day for 4 years.
That’s some serious investment
Who is this nigger and what's his source? We just taking random fucks for their word now?
