- gardenhedge 3y agoNo experience as a builder really
- strikelaserclaw 3y agoNot necessary if you can make sure the builders can do their jobs without disturbance.
- ssnistfajen 3y agoGood news is the team at OpenAI consists of more people than just herself.
- PradeetPatel 3y agoIt has been established that visionaries don't always need to come from a coding background. Often those who aren't can offer diverse viewpoints that are not restricted by the current technology limitations.
- cwillu 3y ago“My background is in engineering, and I worked in aerospace, automotive, VR, and AR. Both in my time at Tesla [where she shepherded the Model X], and at a VR company [Leap Motion] I was doing applications of AI in the real world.”
- wannacboatmovie 3y agoCoincidentally, that reads like the LinkedIn of some of the most utterly clueless, dishonest, resume padding colleagues I've worked with. Not saying that's what's going on here, though I'd urge caution with taking statements like this at face value.

- cwillu 3y agoRight, the CTO that of the leading artificial intelligence company in the world, which just got the CEO position, is really just padding her LinkedIn. /s Obviously an interview is an opportunity to promote herself and her achievements, but that doesn't make it remotely similar to a self-important blowhard writing about themselves in a place that precisely three other people will ever read, and zero other people will take seriously.
- true_religion 3y agoI mean she’s obvious not. If anything the resume padders are copying her style.
- aamoyg 3y agoIt sounds like she had a lot of experience with finite state machines and then using expert systems to tie neural network/fuzzy logic systems together. All those companies were really relevant to the robotics/sensor fusion/IoT crowd which oversaw the prelude to this AI renaissance.
- gardenhedge 3y agoThat's what I based my comment on. She was in Tesla for 3 years and her whole working experience has been a total of only 11 or 12 years.
- keyle 3y agoYou got downvoted fast, but I too agree, CTO should be technical people. There are enough people's people in the other seats. She should understand every layer of the cake, and by the interview I can take that's not the case (excited about Italian translation).
- T-A 3y ago> CTO should be technical people What about CEOs? > She should understand every layer of the cake, and by the interview I can take that's not the case I just read it, and I can't imagine how you can make such an inference from a brief, non-technical interview in a popular magazine.

- thelittleone 3y agoWhat did he say that was sexist? Whether right or wrong, his comment was about skills. There was no mention of gender. Congratulations to Mira. Looking forward to see what changes are coming.
- robbomacrae 3y agoIt does seem kind of crazy how much negativity there is in the replies to this post and while non stand out as particularly misogynistic on their own... the sheer number of doubters does seem damning.
- thelittleone 3y agoBeing appointed CEO of the company at the forefront of possibly the the most disruptive tech innovation since (you decide) without substantial related prior experience is bound to result in skeptics. Perhaps it's exactly what's needed.

- robbomacrae 3y agoDid Steve Jobs have any?
- robbomacrae 3y agoHaving read the article I do get the feeling that safety is an underlying current in most of her answers. This certainly gives weight to this being a safety first camp vs growth first camp theory. I hope they don't slow down the pace of innovation too much as there are many startups just waiting for a few improvements here or there before something else becomes viable. And given her answer to the following question I am somewhat optimistic: Steven: "[...] By putting things like GPT-4 in the wild, it’s almost like you’re forcing the public to deal with those issues [...]" Mira: "[...] especially as the technological progress continues to be so rapid. It's futile to resist it. I think it's important to embrace it and figure out how it's going to go well."
- cwillu 3y agoContext for those inclined to ignore this as something that couldn't possibly have been researched in the time aloted: “This interview was conducted in July 2023 for WIRED’s cover story on OpenAI. It is being published today after Sam Altman’s sudden departure to provide a glimpse at the thinking of the powerful AI company’s new boss.”
- 650 3y ago- mech engineering bachelors 2012 - 6 years of experience including stints as a PM at Tesla and some experience at Goldman and LeapMotion - joined OpenAI in 2018, shortly became CTO and now CEO While credentialism and gatekeeping is all too prominent in society today, for Mira I have serious doubts about her capacity as a leader. A serious lack of experience in all aspects
- devindotcom 3y agoA little late to doubt her isn't it? Do you think she's just been sitting quietly in a corner for the last 5 years at OpenAI while it turned the entire tech industry upside down?
- junofan 3y agoWhy would anybody in her position ever take the job? How’s she going to smooth things over between that board and Nadella, considering he put in $10bn and they ousted both the chairman and CEO without telling him?
- thelittleone 3y agoWhat alternative does MS have? OpenAI has the power in that deal.
- al_borland 3y agoGreat technology can fail in the market due to a poorly run business. There is no shortage of companies looking to compete with OpenAI.
- thelittleone 3y agoNo argument to the first point. However on the 2nd, the competitors are far behind. We could speculate that competitive offerings will equal ChatGPT4 in (X time period), but for all we know that's also when ChatGPT5 comes out. Just because others are trying to compete doesn't mean they're competitive. Right now OpenAI dominates the market. So they have the power in the negotiations.
