Career highlight: featured unexpectedly on last week’s episode of Industry on HBO! (Or at least, an actor playing my voice in a fictional press huddle) Making it onto my fave TV show was not on my 2k26 bingo card, but I’ll take it ✨

NEW: Another xAI co-founder, Jimmy Ba, has announced he is leaving the company. He tweeted the news after we contacted him for comment on his departure and said we were about to publish, story incoming...
Last day at xAI. xAI's mission is push humanity up the Kardashev tech tree. Grateful to have helped cofound at the start. And enormous thanks to @elonmusk for bringing us together on this incredible journey. So proud of what the xAI team has done and will continue to stay close as a friend of the team. Thank you all for the grind together. The people and camaraderie are the real treasures at this place. We are heading to an age of 100x productivity with the right tools. Recursive self improvement loops likely go live in the next 12mo. It’s time to recalibrate my gradient on the big picture. 2026 is gonna be insane and likely the busiest (and most consequential) year for the future of our species.
