Lilian posted a farewell note saying tomorrow would be her last day at Thinky after seven difficult months of health issues and startup stress. In the image, she says she still loves AI and reading frontier research, but needs a more predictable role outside a cofounder-style pace. She also congratulates the team on Inkling’s release and says she’ll cheer for Thinky from the sidelines.
