In a shocking twist that feels a lot like a plot from *Succession*, OpenAI has just pulled off a major coup by recruiting Fidji Simo, the CEO of Instacart, to steer their app operations. Yes, you heard that right! While some may be munching on a snack or two (thanks, Instacart), the real action is happening at OpenAI.
Simo will ease her way from her shopping spree at Instacart into the high-stakes world of AI—where the ‘traditional’ company functions will be the focus of her genius. Sam Altman, the big cheese at OpenAI, has trumpeted this strategic play, hinting that this is all about scaling up—because who doesn’t want to take their apps from ‘just okay’ to ‘mind-blowingly awesome’?
This move raises an eyebrow (or two). What happens when the grocery apps meet the robotic brains? Will we see a future where your fridge orders almond milk based on the quality of your last grocery run? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—OpenAI is cooking up something big!
Does this mean AI is going to start planning our meal preps too? Let’s ponder that while we wait for the next tech twist.
