I recently made the tough decision to leave OpenAI.
It was truly a privilege to make some small contributions to the company’s incredibly massive ambition. I will be forever grateful for
@embirico convincing me to join and
@thsottiaux’s belief in me.
The people at OpenAI were the hardest part to leave behind. I am grateful to have worked directly with literally hundreds and hundreds of the smartest people I’ve ever met — across product, engineering, and GTM. Many of the best people I know also decided to join us during my time there, further proving how magnetic the culture is.
Even though I was there for a short time, it feels like the company went through 3 or 4 evolutions. I’m incredibly bullish on OpenAI because it is able to swarm on the hardest problems, move incredibly quickly, and adapt to all the craziness in the world today. I’ve always said, it’s a very non-regrettable choice to work at OpenAI, and that is more true than ever :)
Im pretty bad at taking breaks, but I look forward to grinding out a couple days on Maplestory Classic and then getting back to work 🚀
