Last week, OpenAI suffered management team infighting over the key direction of the company. The schism inside the company resulted in Sam Altman’s firing & Greg Brockman’s departure. This outcome injects uncertainty in the market including key partners (Microsoft & investors) & employees about the company’s future. Microsoft, recognizing risk with a key technology partner in one of their most important markets, stabilizes its future by hiring Altman, Brockman, & others.

Who Took a Bet on You? by @ttunguz

I can remember at each career inflection point the person who took a bet on me. When I joined Google it was Kim. When I moved to product, Marissa & Brian. Then to Redpoint, it was the early stage team : Geoff, Tim, Chris, & Scott. Lloyd & Frank at Looker for their Series A. Today, it’s the team & the LPs at Theory. That’s the very beginning of the list.

The New Threat to a Data Leader's Career by @ttunguz

Recently, Guy Podjarny, President of Snyk & I talked through an investor’s view of AI’s impact on security & data. What’s changed with AI? A reckless data security leak threatens the career of a head of data, just as much as a mismanaged security incident ends a CISO (chief information security officer)’s. Clorox, Uber, SolarWinds, Target, JPMorgan, Facebook, Equifax, & CapitalOne : All these CISOs have been fired in the last ten years for security issues.
