No experience as a builder really

  Not necessary if you can make sure the builders can do their jobs without disturbance.

  Good news is the team at OpenAI consists of more people than just herself.

  It 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.

  “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.”

    Coincidentally, 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.

      Right, 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.

        I mean she’s obvious not. If anything the resume padders are copying her style.

      It 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.

    That'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.

  You 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).

    > 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.

    What 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.

      It 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 ago
        Being 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.
