Breaking: Sam Altman is no longer CEO of ChatGPT. Sam is still CEO of OpenAI overall. But Fidji Simo (ex-Instacart CEO) has stepped in as CEO of Applications now running ChatGPT, product, and operations. he is moving to mainly to long-term research, compute infrastructure, and capital planning. Even the best founders eventually face a choice: keep running operations or focus on growth work on the company > work in the company Structure isn’t weakness, it’s power. he's handing off his day-to-day, so he can free himself to work on stuff that no one else really can
