I’m excited to announce that today I’m joining @Microsoft as CEO of Microsoft AI. I’ll be leading all consumer AI products and research, including Copilot, Bing and Edge. My friend and longtime collaborator Karén Simonyan will be Chief Scientist, and several of our amazing teammates have chosen to join us. @InflectionAI will continue on its mission under a new CEO, and look to reach more people than ever by making its API widely available to developers and businesses the world over. It’s been an amazing journey, with so much more to come. Thank you to everyone for your support. Things really are just getting started.

Toronto became the first NHL arena to install separate penalty-box doors for each team. The move came a week after Leafs' Bob Pulford the Canadiens' Terry Harper had a fight in their shared penalty box, after an earlier fight on the ice. 11.08.63 #HFH H/T @goaleafs 📼👇

We're announcing at least 75% of state jobs will no longer require a 4-year college degree. For too long, 4-year degree requirements have stood in the way of job opportunities for highly qualified Minnesotans, especially in state government. Going forward, we’re opening doors.
