Just came across some interesting news I thought you all might want to discuss.
Looks like Gabor Cselle (yeah, the Pebble/T2 guy) has quietly joined OpenAI! He dropped this info on X yesterday, being pretty cryptic about what he’s working on there. Classic tech secrecy, right? 😅
Some background for those who don’t know him:
– Founded reMail (sold to Google)
– Founded Namo Media (sold to Twitter)
– Was a product manager at Twitter pre-Musk era
– Recently built Pebble (RIP), which was trying to be a Twitter alternative
– Been at OpenAI since October, according to his LinkedIn
Interestingly, after Pebble shut down last year (now it’s just a Mastodon instance), he was working on some AI stuff at South Park Commons. He was messing around with generative AI, including something HQ trivia-inspired.
Oh, and here’s a fun coincidence – while OpenAI got Cselle, their competitor Anthropic just picked up Alex Rodrigues (the Embark autonomous trucking guy) as an AI safety researcher. Seems like there’s a lot of talent movement in the AI space right now.
