This is huge. I remember reading about Charles' work in “No Filter” the excellent book on the history of Instagram by @sarahfrier. A real coup for OpenAI here.

An intriguing SCOOP indeed: @OpenAI has just poached @CharlesPorch from @Meta to be its first-ever VP of global creative partnerships. At Instagram, he was known for bringing big-name celebs onto the platform. Let the AI battle for Hollywood begin. https://www.vanityfair.com/...

Charles knows where culture is happening. He's the 🐐at helping creators benefit from new mediums. Can't wait to work with him on ChatGPT, Sora and OpenAI.
