Bengaluru Entrepreneur Reacts To Sam Altman's Praise For Her Smart Crib: "AI God's Trust..."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared a personal recommendation with his social media followers, revealing that his newborn son sleeps in a crib designed by Cradlewise, a startup founded by Bengaluru entrepreneur Radhika Patil. Mr Altman praised the crib, stating it's one of the few baby products truly worth investing in. "We bought a lot of silly baby things that we haven't needed, but I recommend a Cradlewise crib and a lot more burp rags than you think you could possibly need," Mr Altman wrote on X.

The Bengaluru-born entrepreneur was surprised by Mr Altman's organic endorsement, and thanked him for his recommendation. "Thanks for loving us @sama. The AI god's trust in the smarts of @cradlewise means a lot to us. Wishing you all more," her tweet read.

Notably, the Open AI CEO welcomed his baby boy in February this year. Announcing the news in an emotional post, Mr Altman shared that their son was born prematurely and required time in the NICU. "He is doing well, and it's nice to be in a little bubble taking care of him," he wrote, adding, "I have never felt such love." Earlier this month, he shared a Ghibli-style image of himself and his son on X, capturing the internet's attention.

Mr Altman is married to software engineer Oliver Mulherin. The couple has kept their private life away from the glare of media and their public appearances are rare.
