OpenAI Hires Patreon Co-Founder Sam Yam

OpenAI hired Patreon co-founder Sam Yam to lead a new Creator Product division, leaving Patreon after more than 13 years. He brings former Patreon product head Drew Rowny and engineering head Shannon Ma. The team will build tools for creators, with a first look possibly at OpenAI DevDay next week, amid long-standing tension between AI companies and creatives.
