OpenAI’s Mark Chen: - “Meta went after half of my direct reports and they all declined.” - “Meta has $10 billion of capital per year to deploy towards talent.” - “Zuck hand-cooked and hand-delivered soup to people he was trying to hire from OpenAI.” Insane AI talent war.

Alternative logins are now live! Arena no longer relies on just X for authentication. You can now sign up or log in with Google or Apple, and existing users can link these methods to ensure continued access if one option becomes unavailable. Unlinking is not yet supported due to provider constraints. Accounts created with the same email address will automatically resolve to the same Arena account, even without explicit linking. This release also introduces username updates and profile photo changes. Each additional login method increases your account’s attack surface, so we strongly recommend enabling 2FA under Settings & Support → Account Security. This paves the way for Social Logins next, starting with TikTok and Instagram. From here, we make it easy for creators from major platforms to access The Arena. This is a crucial piece towards our larger overall expansion plan!
