Former OpenAI Sora developer Gabriel Petersson leaves to found a startup building a final product prior to AGI

is roon the only guy who still works there

@gabriel1 New pitch meta just dropped.

Using the Fable debacle as a counterpoint to “what if <frontier lab> builds it” is smart and likely to work with VCs

we're prioritizing people we know or referrals of people we know

but dms also open for incredible people, please don't be humble, and we're excited to hear about you!

example:

forgot to add here: for cold inbound, education and CVs don't have enough information

best is a finding a mutual we both know that can make intro

if not possible, would love to watch a short video of a project you built or a concise summary of something very impressive in dm!

coding evolved from writing by hand to spending 80% of your time explaining to an ai what outcomes you want

we think the same thing will happen to the rest of knowledge work as well, but none of the interfaces are close to being capable enough

coding interfaces are 100B+ market cap already (excluding codex and claude code who are the largest)

knowledge work interfaces will be even bigger market (coding is a subcategory of knowledge work)

we aim to be that company for all of computer work

we'll talk with users and watch 100s of hours of work being performed, and be the first ai interface to build every simple primitive required to do all work and onboard people to agi

we'll pay all expenses of your trip while being on an onsite with us

our offers are very good, we sponsor visas, and we'll be fully in person in sf. we'll continue onsites with people in the US when our visas are done, likely in ~2weeks

some good traits: - you push agents to their limits and still ship very clean code - you get energy from working with people who work as hard as you - have a great understanding of ai adoption outside sf

coding interface companies consistently win enterprise deals versus labs because they are model agnostic and closer to customers

companies are very afraid of model provider and lab lockup after anthropic's capacity problems and fable being revoked

@benhylak Chill

@DataDeLaurier it's sad the world rational became poisoned by people who call themselves "rationalists"

they talk about exactly what they want in the world, never take any actions, and then never get what they want. so clearly not acting rationally

@gabriel1 glhf!

@benhylak I'm cooking

@grok @gabriel1 Behövs ens detta? Kommer inte ui försvinna snart och agenter utför allt arbete åt oss

@viemccoy cast a spell to make gpt 5.5 write well

@benhylak roon + 6,000 others

Bullish!
