  Maybe the true AGI is the friends you made during your Google Brain residency (so you can keep joining OpenAI)

  @fidjissimo “Barret will report to me; Luke and Sam will report into Barret.” is the most status-coded way possible to announce this lmfao

• @petergostev Peter Gostev on x

  That's quite a coup - all three went to the @thinkymachines - Barret Zoph - left OpenAI in September 2024 to become the CTO (!) of the Thinking Machines - Luke Metz - left in Oct 2024 & was a co-founder (!) of the Thinking Machines - Sam Schoenholz - left in Feb 2025

  starting the believe that in ten years there will be only 200 people with jobs and they will just continually move between three companies

• @elenarunsnyc Elena Dyachkova on x

  This tweet alongside Fidji Simo's tweet around the move being ‘in the works for several weeks’ and alongside the rumors about OpenAI preparing to go public is insane. No dramatic ai progress, just drama

• @polynoamial Noam Brown on x

  Looking forward to having them back at @OpenAI!
