[Gary Lin @garymlin]

Excited to share that I recently joined @OpenAI 🚀

First, I want to give a huge thank you to the amazing @omni team. It was an honor to be in the trenches with y’all and I’m excited to keep cheering the team on for all that’s ahead.

I’m joining OpenAI to help lead their forward deployed engineering teams. The world is rapidly changing as frontier models continue to improve at an accelerating rate and I wanted to have a front-row seat to the action.

It’s very exciting to be reunited with so many friends from Columbia, Palantir, and Explo, now as coworkers (again).

There is so much to do, there is so much demand, but there are not enough people. A day in the life of an OAI FDE might include:

1️⃣ Embedding deeply with customers and shipping outcomes
2️⃣ Contributing customer learnings back to product
3️⃣ Building evals from the field and partnering with research to improve our models

If this sounds exciting to you, please DM or email me!

(we are also aggressively hiring for other roles across the entire organization!)

@fullportnik yea def

[Gary Lin @garymlin]

The last time the Knicks won an NBA Finals game was June 21, 1999.

For context:
• Napster had launched 20 days earlier
• Red Hat had just announced its IPO plans
• Internet-related companies made up 60% of all IPOs that year (dot-com bubble incoming)

Game 1's Knicks starters were this old in June 1999:
• Josh Hart: 4 years old
• Karl-Anthony Towns: 3 years old
• Jalen Brunson: 2 years old
• Mikal Bridges: 2 years old
• OG Anunoby: 1 year old

Rooting for the Knicks this series, but ofc go Dubs
