Thinking Machines Lab: Where Ex-OpenAI Geniuses Go to Plot World Domination (Probably)

In a move that has shocked absolutely no one, Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab has become the latest hotspot for ex-OpenAI employees who are just too smart for their own good. The startup, which we're pretty sure is just a front for an AI-powered coffee machine, has recently added two more brainiacs to its roster: Bob McGrew and Alec Radford. Because, you know, what's a secret AI project without a couple of former OpenAI heavyweights?

According to sources (aka the website that was quietly updated in March, because subtlety is key when you're building Skynet), these two have joined Murati in her quest to... well, we're not entirely sure. The lab's mission is as vague as a politician's promise, but with words like transformative and innovation thrown around, we're guessing it involves making computers smarter than us. Because that's always gone well in movies.

Here's what we do know:

• Bob McGrew used to be OpenAI's chief research officer, which means he's really good at making machines think.
• Alec Radford is the brains behind many of OpenAI's transformative innovations, so he's basically the Tony Stark of AI (minus the ego and the cool suits).
• The lab's website was updated quietly, which is tech speak for "we're up to something".

While the spokesperson for Thinking Machines Lab has been mysteriously silent (probably busy feeding data to their AI overlord), we can only speculate what this dream team is cooking up. Maybe they're working on an AI that can finally tell us why we can't find matching socks. Or perhaps they're building the ultimate chatbot that can out-sass us all. The possibilities are endless, and slightly terrifying.

One thing's for sure: with this much brainpower in one room, the only thing they're not thinking about is how to make their coffee machine stop judging them. Because let's face it, even AI geniuses need their caffeine fix.
