@lufthansa the seats and tray tables on this long haul flight to Frankfurt are absolutely filthy. Looks like someone threw up on this seat and it hasn't been cleaned in the least.
We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO with a new initial board of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo.
We are collaborating to figure out the details. Thank you so much for your patience through this.
@Tesla has updated pricing for Model X and S in the US. Model X LR is now $79,990 and Model X Plaid is $89,990. Model S LR is $74,990 and Model S Plaid is $89,990. The Model S and X Standard Range models seem to be gone from the configurator now. The X Plaid is now a steal!
Credit where it’s due! Flying @Delta international long haul for the first time and I just had THE tastiest Asian Vegetarian Meal on an airplane. 2-4-2 seating with ample leg room in economy class with the latest movies and seat back screens, I can get behind this! Nicely done!
@kelseyhightower @SimplyDionysus To me, making the decision to go monolith and publishing the blog post signify two of the best things I like about the Amazon culture. 2-way door decision making and the ability to be vocally self critical especially when letting the data illustrate the truth.
@scarletinked I understand the sentiment with which this thread was written, but growing headcount without showing consistent delivery and impact towards business outcomes is no good. A good leader will see right through this. Instead show how you can do the most impactful work with less.
This is one of the direct results of failure to foster clarity of roles and outcomes when it comes to org design. Many times, especially during periods of growth, things like intentional org design fall to the waysides and now we are seeing the correction.
This is not a surprising outcome, and one that we'll likely see throughout tech.
Eng Managers will need to be more hands on, or switch to IC roles as flat orgs make a comeback.
People management focused EMs may have been a zero interest rate phenomenon.

Social media is abuzz with the price drops by @Tesla on their vehicles. I figured I’d post this list containing before and after prices on all Tesla Models in the US. This makes the Model Y LR an unbeatable deal amongst EVs especially if you qualify for the $7500 tax credit!
@elonmusk for folks that bought a Tesla immediately before the price drops today, is there a possibility of getting free or reduced price FSD or EAP as a goodwill gesture?
In my opinion the Model X Plaid is an insanely good value as an upgrade if you were already in the market for a 6-seat Model X. With the current pricing Model X LR with 6-Seats and no other options is $116,490. While a Model X Plaid which comes standard with 6 seats ha $119,990
As an avid EV enthusiast, I feel that articles like this do a disservice to people looking to get an EV. What the @tomsguide article calls out as a nuisance, "auto turn signals not coming from factory but being added in a software update" is post sale updatability some might love
Read this piece on a "poor" Tesla experience from @tomsguide. Coincidentally this comes right after I watched @MKBHD review the Mercedes EQS SUV.What stood out with MKBHD is him saying "this is a good EV, just isn't something for me" versus this hit piece. https://t.co/dnVpwrme1j
