Born in Paris, Cornet was educated at the École alsacienne and the Lycée Saint-Louis before studying Informatics, Physics and Maths at the École normale supérieure. [7] [8]
Cornet worked at Google [6] from 2007 until 2021. He joined Twitter in 2021, but said he had been laid off in 2022 shortly after the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk. [9] [10]
Cornet is known for his cartoons, [11] some of which were published in The New York Times , [12] [13] Der Spiegel , [14] Mashable, Daring Fireball and Business Insider. [15]
His "Organizational Charts" cartoon was quoted by Satya Nadella on the first page of his book, Hit Refresh, as one of the motivations making him want to change the organizational culture at Microsoft. [16]
Cornet wrote The Crab and the Lamb, [1] edited by Geneviève Jurgensen and translated into English by Adriana Hunter. It is the first-person account of Cornet's experience with cancer diagnosis and treatment. His second book, Goomics, was published in 2018 [2] [3] and is about his experiences working for Google.

It is considered one of the Big Five American information technology companies, alongside Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, and Meta.
A physicist is a scientist who specializes in the field of physics, which encompasses the interactions of matter and energy at all length and time scales in the physical universe. Physicists generally are interested in the root or ultimate causes of phenomena, and usually frame their understanding in mathematical terms. They work across a wide range of research fields, spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic and particle physics, through biological physics, to cosmological length scales encompassing the universe as a whole. The field generally includes two types of physicists: experimental physicists who specialize in the observation of natural phenomena and the development and analysis of experiments, and theoretical physicists who specialize in mathematical modeling of physical systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena.

Giorgio Parisi is an Italian theoretical physicist, whose research has focused on quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and complex systems. His best known contributions are the QCD evolution equations for parton densities, obtained with Guido Altarelli, known as the Altarelli–Parisi or DGLAP equations, the exact solution of the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses, the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang equation describing dynamic scaling of growing interfaces, and the study of whirling flocks of birds. He was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Klaus Hasselmann and Syukuro Manabe for groundbreaking contributions to theory of complex systems, in particular "for the discovery of the interplay of disorder and fluctuations in physical systems from atomic to planetary scales".
Moho is a proprietary vector-based 2D animation application distributed by Lost Marble LLC. It has two distinct packages: Moho Pro and Moho Debut. Moho Debut is similar to the pro version, but with restricted features.

Microsoft, a technology company historically known for its opposition to the open source software paradigm, turned to embrace the approach in the 2010s. From the 1970s through 2000s under CEOs Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Microsoft viewed the community creation and sharing of communal code, later to be known as free and open source software, as a threat to its business, and both executives spoke negatively against it. In the 2010s, as the industry turned towards cloud, embedded, and mobile computing—technologies powered by open source advances—CEO Satya Nadella led Microsoft towards open source adoption although Microsoft's traditional Windows business continued to grow throughout this period generating revenues of 26.8 billion in the third quarter of 2018, while Microsoft's Azure cloud revenues nearly doubled.

In late January 2024, sexually explicit AI-generated deepfake images of American musician Taylor Swift were proliferated on social media platforms 4chan and X. The images led Microsoft to enhance Microsoft Designer's text-to-image model to prevent future abuse. Several artificial images of Swift of a sexual or violent nature were quickly spread, with one post reported to have been seen over 47 million times before its eventual removal. These images prompted responses from anti-sexual assault advocacy groups, US politicians, Swifties, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, among others, and it has been suggested that Swift's influence could result in new legislation regarding the creation of deepfake pornography.
