OpenAI searches for a chief communications officer to reshape its public image ahead of a potential IPO

this is like someone taking a test & the answer is written on the chalkboard but they don’t understand it.

hint: hire a twitter anon.

Should I

OpenAI has a PR challenge, and although it's spoken to several candidates for its open chief comms officer role, it has yet to pull the trigger on anyone.

@steph_palazzolo I will do it

@steph_palazzolo it feels like @johncoogan and @jordihays have made a huge impact

@growing_daniel yes

@growing_daniel You would do well in the role of telling everyone that ChatGPT is definitely NOT gay. Totally straight. Not even a little bit fruity

@steph_palazzolo OpenAI did not just stumble, it burned through a golden reputation that took a decade to build and did it in record time.

When a company at the frontier loses clarity, it does not drift, it free‑falls.

@steph_palazzolo @lulumeservey Your services are required

@steph_palazzolo @OpenAI here if you need meme marketing

@honorablepicnic @steph_palazzolo @johncoogan @jordihays i have no idea tbh but it feels like comms have been good post acquisition, whether related or not

@Exo_Researcv5 @steph_palazzolo @pangramlabs ai?

@steph_palazzolo I'm working on a piece that argues the problem with AI started almost 15 years ago. Every technology in the past 15 years has been used to manipulate or exploit.

AI is just the final straw for many people.

A "rebrand" won't fix this. An overall tech backlash has started.

@pitdesi @steph_palazzolo @johncoogan @jordihays I think that's a mostly unsupported and projected narrative but would be interested to be proven wrong

@steph_palazzolo A job I'd be good at if I wasn't against everything they have done and stand for, oh well

@hopes_revenge @steph_palazzolo ur too gay and too not gay, both in the wrong way.

@GaryMarcus I am thinking - how did people buy the hype of these OpenAI and frontier model companies' AI economists 😅😂?

@steph_palazzolo First task is to convince the boss to shut the fuck up.

@hopes_revenge @steph_palazzolo I would kill. Myself if your crisis comms team at openai told me it would be good
