We’re still in the “let’s retrofit AI into existing UIs” phase.

The future is AI-native UX.

Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.

Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.

We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know:

- Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.

- At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.

- As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior.

The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.

10x engineer is a myth. 100x AI-powered engineer is more real than ever. As OpenAI winds down Codex, Microsoft announces GitHub Copilot X. I think it's almost as exciting as GPT-4 itself:

- Copilot Chat: any piece of text database will be "chattable", and codebase is no different. Don't read your code, talk to it.
- Copilot for Pull Request: improves *human collaboration*. Now GPT will accelerate not just a single dev, but entire OSS communities.
- Copilot CLI: bash is so unintuitive and awkward sometimes. No more bash, just English.
- Copilot doc: thanks to GPT-4's much longer context (32K tokens), you can fit entire docs in one go. No need to memorize any doc - simply retrieve from the prompt.

It's a bit annoying that there is a separate waitlist for each item ... I'll link them in 🧵:

As startups grow there is extremely strong pull into what I call the death spiral of bullshit.

More people -> more teams -> more buy-in required -> more meetings -> being persuasive rewarded more than building -> builders leave -> nothing gets done

Hab geträumt, dass eine Volkspartei eine Razzia im Finanzministerium veranlasst hat um Wahlkampf zu machen und sich dann über unfaire Methoden beschwerte, als der eigene Kanzlerkandidat von zwei 10-jährigen Kindern rhetorisch zerlegt wurde. #CDUgate

@Nomaticgear while your remarketing ads appear every day in my feed, i havent heard back about my warranty claim for 20 days now. Is this how you treat existing customers?

@asana @lauriecope I agree @asana No explanation, nothing. Really annoying. Tab N is not the same.
