Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Remember, when we wanted more renewable energy to reduce fossil fuels and tackle the climate crisis, we were sneered at and dismissed as ‘fantasists’.

Yet, when tech billionaires want solar to power the AI data centres stealing people’s jobs, the right can’t get enough of it.

What Is College for in the Age of AI? Young graduates can’t find jobs. Schools know they have to make big changes. But what?

How much AI is to blame for the fragile entry-level job market is unclear. Several research studies show AI is hitting young college-educated workers disproportionately, but broader economic forces are part of the story, too.
