I see you're treating Sam Altman as some kind of trustworthy source. Might it be possible that he's making that up -- of course, nobody will ever call him on it! -- and exaggerating the numbers to make his company and team look really good and ethical for not accepting such lucrative offers, or perhaps to make them sour on Meta for not receiving $100M offers?

Reporting at the time said Wang was far from Zuck’s top choice. Murati and Ilya (among others) were all asked first and said no.

Agreed, but the comment should mention it. Nobody is talking about value for money right now.

I didn't mean to advocate for Anthropic, apologies.

What a baffling comment. Aren’t you aware of why this exodus is happening? (It’s not related to “value for the money”!) What are your feelings on that part?

My guess would be ~$30mm. MyFitnessPal itself, which generates the most revenue of all health&fitness apps, was sold as an undesirable asset for $345 million a few years ago and probably do not have mountains of cash sitting around.

Cal AI are popular and their revenue seems great, but their profit margins are probably quite slim, they rely heavily on advertising and I imagine 80%+ of their revenue is on day 1.
