At just 24, AI researcher Matt Deitke has become one of the most closely watched young names in artificial intelligence after reportedly turning down a massive offer from Meta. The company initially offered Deitke about $125 million over four years to join its Superintelligence Lab. He declined. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg then personally met with him, and the company reportedly returned with a package worth roughly $250 million, including up to $100 million in the first year.
