Sam Altman / @sama:
OpenAI hires Instacart CEO Fidji Simo as CEO of Applications, reporting to Sam Altman, who says he’ll stay CEO focusing “on research, compute, and safety” — so excited that @fidjissimo is joining openai in a new role: ceo of applications, reporting to me. i’ll remain ceo of openai, but in this new configuration i’ll be able to increase my focus on research, compute, and safety. these are critical as we approach superintelligence.
