Well this was strangely misleading. Thinking Machines cofounder posted honestly about stepping down due to overly fast pace. I assumed this was to take a break.
Turns out just jumped ship to go back to work at OpenAI - where the pace is also anything but slow.
So strange.
Lilian Weng (@lilianweng): It is a hard and sad decision. I shared this message with folks at Thinky. Thank you all for the time together♥️ Just as the last sentence in my message: The future worth building is human.
