after a long break, i’m back at openai to start a new team with @troyluhman and @eric_luhman1 focused on an incredibly high-risk bet that has a small, but significant, chance of leading to ASI. we’re keeping the team tight but we’re open to high-slope researchers & engineers

We made a $25k grant for the builder with the coolest builder portfolio! My friends and I grew up hacking projects together with scraps. And we feel like you shouldn't have to. So we made this! No strings attached — money to make stuff! https://t.co/UTts7H6UcV

since this joke tweet, i ✅ rejected yc, ✅ quit my job at neuralink, and ✅ broke up with my long-term gf. i'm so good at manifesting, surely the 100MM MRR and happiness are coming next, right? ...right???

Yesterday was my last day at Neuralink—I've quit on the best of terms to go pursue some problems that are personally incredibly exciting to me. At the same time: I'm super optimistic for the future of the company. There has never been a better time to join the incredible team. <3
