CEO and Chair @Instacart. Cofounder of @Metrodorainst, focused on finding cures for neuroimmune conditions.
So many stories like this. The future is bright. One day soon, the idea of entrusting life-altering health decisions exclusively to someone who spends maybe 30 minutes thinking about your case will feel outdated and mildly unhinged.
this story is going wildy viral on reddit. ChatGPT flagged a hidden gene defect that doctors missed for a decade. ChatGPT ingested the patient’s MRI, CT, broad lab panels and years of unexplained symptoms. It noticed that normal serum B12 clashed with nerve pain and fatigue,…
I delivered the commencement speech @HECParis and gave students some guidance on how to embrace this moment of transformation as the greatest accelerant to human potential, and usher in their own golden age of creation. youtu.be/CbiWd9xZoO4?si…
"The greatest limits you'll face are the ones you quietly agree to." Love this commencement speech from @fidjissimo on the golden age of creativity, the innovator's journey, and the magic of community. youtube.com/watch?v=CbiWd9…

I worked with Kate for 10 years at Meta and the main word that comes to mind is “legend”. So happy to be reunited!
She’s all signal. No noise. Highest integrity leader I know. Very good news: for OpenAI, for all of us.
Thanks @fromedome! 🙏
Big. @fidjissimo has excelled as CEO of Instacart, which is a great product, a complex (and growing) business, and, in my personal experience, a well-run company. But this seems like a once-in-a-lifetime kind of opportunity, for someone who very clearly gives a shit.
I can hardly express how amazing it has been to see @gdb in action over the last year; working with him was a big part of why I decided to make this move. I couldn’t be more excited to work with him, @sama and the entire crew to deliver AGI.
Welcome @fidjissimo! Fidji has been an amazing friend and colleague, with unique insights and advice on OpenAI. I'm super excited to work with her to deliver AGI that benefits all of humanity.
fidji is exceptional; we have worked together on openai for the past year and i have observed her deep commitment to our mission. i cannot imagine a better new team member to help us scale the next 10x (or 100x, let's see).
So excited to be joining @openai and contributing to its mission. Thank you @sama for the opportunity- it will be such a privilege to work with such a talented team on one of the most important and ambitious endeavors in history. I’ll remain CEO of @Instacart for the next few…
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.
