The former head of Meta’s augmented reality glasses efforts announced on Monday she is joining OpenAI to lead robotics and consumer hardware, according to a post on LinkedIn. OpenAI confirmed to TechCrunch that Caitlin Kalinowski will be joining the startup.
oooooo this is going to get very good. I was anticipating Orion and came across that said Sam Altman said it won't be released in 2025. How true is that though
OpenAi, according to Altman, is compute constrained.
so I bet that's the main difference between AI and AGI, maybe the fact that AGI is not compute constrained
We dont even have clear definitions of AGI yet.
AGI will be constrained. It will still lack real world knowledge.
Oh then I'm guessing it'll probably take a while before we even agree on a definition let alone know exactly what we're building to call AGI.

Kalinowski is a hardware executive who began leading Meta’s AR glasses team in March 2022. She oversaw the creation of Orion, the impressive augmented reality prototype that Meta recently showed off at its annual Connect conference. Kalinowski also led the hardware team behind Meta’s virtual reality goggles for roughly nine years. Before that, she worked at Apple, designing the hardware for MacBooks.
“I’m delighted to share that I’m joining OpenAI to lead robotics and consumer hardware,” said Kalinowski in her post. “In my new role, I will initially focus on OpenAI’s robotics work and partnerships to help bring AI into the physical world and unlock its benefits for humanity.”
