NEW: Excited (ok, stoked!) to share this @FortuneMagazine online/print deep-dive into how Mark Zuckerberg went all-in on open-source AI (yes, come at me, really open weights) and made Meta's Llama the cornerstone of the company's generative AI ambitions.

@IndraniNY @UnderwoodFarms @huyfongfoods @FortuneMagazine @ajs It was an honor to have a small role in developing this STUNNER of a story. I also apologize to Indrani and others for suggesting that my store-brand sriracha was "just as good."
English
@UnderwoodFarms @huyfongfoods It was a privilege to publish this in @FortuneMagazine, with the guidance and editing of my brilliant boss @MatthewHeimer and the support of the amazing @ajs. And Jasper and I loved watching the masterful Spencer Lowell at work. His photos, edited by Mia Diehl, are stunning.

Huy Fong Foods' sriracha sauce has been my go-to for decades, and my 11yo son Jasper adores it. When we couldn't find it anywhere, he wanted to know why—so the two of us went to California to figure it out. The result is this feature for @FortuneMagazine.

Today is my last day as a Features Fellow @FortuneMagazine! Here are some stories that I really enjoyed working on:
English
@rachellobdell @CliftonLeaf @editorialiste @brianbokeefe @adamlashinsky @kayelbee @bethkowitt Thanks @rachellobdell ! :)
English
I learned a lot about management and communication from @CliftonLeaf, @editorialiste, and @brianbokeefe. I learned how to think bigger from @adamlashinsky. I learned the power of thanking people from @MatthewHeimer. And how to laugh at everything from @kayelbee and @bethkowitt.

After nearly four years, Friday was my last day at Fortune. It's a place I grew as a leader and person, and I am grateful for the coworkers who turned into friends.

@MONightingale @mariaaspan @FortuneMagazine @DrRaegan @powertodecide Thanks so much, @MONightingale!

@MatthewHeimer @mariaaspan @FortuneMagazine This is an excellent, thorough look at a critical and timely issue. And we finally have job overlap! I got to work with @mariaaspan on her interview with @DrRaegan, the CEO of my favorite organization @PowerToDecide, re the importance of #BirthControl coverage. Kudos to all!

@DJBentley Oh no, Daniel, I'm so sorry. Let me know if I can be helpful.
English
I’m one of those affected. Not how I imagined my second week returning to work after parental leave would go!
Some really, really incredible colleagues have also been let go. When I get permission I’ll share their details here.

Morning Brew is laying off 14% of its staff, per an internal email this morning. CEO Austin Rief says the cuts are due to “a lot of fear and uncertainty” in the economy which is spooking advertisers.

@editorialiste Oh, no! I'm so sorry, Andrew, for you and your colleagues. Lmk if I can be helpful in what's next.

My time at Morning Brew came to an end today, alongside so many brilliant and talented members of my team. (1/?)

@rhackett @adamlashinsky Thanks @rhackett! Great writers and thinkers make it easy to be an editor. Congrats on this big move and on all your phenomenal work at Fortune.
English
Side note: @MatthewHeimer, who has edited so many of my stories, including that one, is a genius. He improves everything he touches and my copy will be appreciably worse wo his input.
Also Data Sheet founder @adamlashinsky is a mensch who always sets the highest bar for quality

Some personal news... After 7 incredible and richly rewarding years at @FortuneMagazine, I am moving on.
I’m joining (aping into?) Andreessen Horowitz to lead content and editorial for the crypto fund, @a16z Crypto. (Not a joke!)

Just how big an impact could NFTs have on our culture? @alextapscott has some thoughts @FortuneMagazine.
Alex Tapscott@alextapscott
In 1964, Marshall McLuhan quipped, “The medium is the message." Back then, TV was radically changing how we consumed information. Today, NFTs and digital goods are transforming how we consume culture & interact online. My latest for @FortuneMagazine. fortune.com/2021/10/04/nft…
