We support this petition, signed by our CEO, several co-founders, and senior staff.
Our own research on recursive self-improvement, published last month, points to the need for tools to deliberately pace the frontier of AI development so society can prepare. We’re glad to see broad agreement across the field. pacingthefrontier.com/
Amazon (& Walmart) are 2 of the most important co.s on earth: They've meaningfully reshaped our lives, the global economy, & labor & business standards. And few people understand it all better than @DelRey. Can't wait to devour his new book, Winner Sells All.
Feeling lucky I get to do this with @Alessandra_Ram!
🚨Announcement🚨: I founded a media company with my friend & ex-@WIRED colleague @SamOltman! @goodluck_media is a global journalism studio for climate – and we’re starting with a limited narrative series podcast unlike anything you’ve heard before. (1/5)

Sam was my editor at Recode the last 4 years and I learned so much from her. I can’t wait to follow her next move and her new venture and highly recommend you do too
Exciting news: I’ve left my role as @voxdotcom's editorial director of science & tech to start something new: @goodluck_media, a global journalism studio I’m co-founding with my friend & ex-@Wired colleague, the inimitable @Alessandra_Ram. (1/5)

Follow what these talented journalists are building. They’ve done incredible work for a decade across so many companies, it’s about damn time they’ve got something of their own.

Screenshotting this tweet so I have it long after Twitter's eventual end. Thank you, Kara!

Lastly — even though I’m hyped about this change, I already miss my wonderful colleagues @voxdotcom, @Recode (RIP) & @voxmediapods. I couldn’t do this without everything I’ve learned from all of you. Thank you. (5/5)
. @rebheilweil is a sharp, tenacious reporter who covers the wonkiest, nerdiest topics w/ depth & clarity. The future of AI? The supply chain? The new space race? The EV revolution? She's on it. Her growth as a reporter & expert in 3 years at @Recode @voxdotcom is mind-boggling.
Just a few of @rebheilweil's greatest hits:

. @DelRey is an incredible reporter who's got it all: Deep sourcing, canonical knowledge, clear writing, relentlessness, & an ability to connect the dots in a way others often can't. Beyond that, he's guided by his humanity & is a pleasure to edit. His next team will be so lucky.
1. Young Jason dreamed of being an NBA free agent but this is the closest I’m going to get: My time @recode is over thx to @voxmedia layoffs & I'm ready for something new. Have an idea for my next gig? Contact info in bio. For now I'll do some writing here

And I'm hiring for a very cool job: @voxdotcom's Climate Editor. Now is such an important moment for covering climate issues and solutions in accessible, creative ways. Come help us define what impactful climate coverage should look like! boards.greenhouse.io/voxmedi…
Also, I'm so excited @ranimolla is the new senior correspondent for @Recode @voxdotcom, covering the future of work for everyone. It's been a joy to see her carve out a new, distinct beat that helps people understand the big changes we're living through.
.@Recode wouldn't be what it is without @adamclarkestes' leadership the past 2.5 years. As the tech world faces big changes & uncertainty, I'm thrilled he'll lead our team in covering this important story that impacts so many aspects of people's lives.
Thrilled to get to work more closely with @B_resnick; the thoughtfulness, curiosity, and expertise he brings is exactly what the @voxdotcom Science team needs!
Something cool! I'm now the science editor at @voxdotcom.
It's an exciting role where I get to work with great writers, bringing clarity to some of the most important stories of our times, and still work on Unexplainable, confronting the beautiful abyss of unknowns.
