You’re Gonna Be Waiting a While for the Return of ‘Last of Us’ or ‘Penguin’

Genre shows made a huge impact on today’s Emmy announcements, with Apple TV+’s Severance leading the charge for most-nominated title overall with recognition in 27 categories. But HBO’s The Penguin wasn’t far behind with 24, and though you might expect that to mean the studio would be actively working on more episodes—well, it’s complicated, given the show’s positioning within Matt Reeves‘ The Batman universe.

I left OpenAI three weeks ago. I had joined the company back in May 2024. I wanted to share my reflections because there's a lot of smoke and noise around what OpenAI is doing, but not a lot of first-hand accounts of what the culture of working there actually feels like. Nabeel Quereshi has an amazing post called Reflections on Palantir, where he ruminates on what made Palantir special. I wanted to do the same for OpenAI while it's fresh in my mind.
