Maybe she thinks the _world_ is a few short years away from building world-changing AGI, not just limited to OpenAI, and she wants to compete and do her own thing (and easily raise $1B like Ilya).
- xur17 2y agoWhich is arguably a good thing (having AGI spread amongst multiple entities rather than one leader).
- tomrod 2y agoThe show Person of Interest comes to mind.
- tempodox 2y agoSamaritan will take us by the hand and lead us safely through this brave new world.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoHow is that good? An arms race increases the pressure to go fast and disregard alignment safety, non proliferation is essential.
- actionfromafar 2y agoI think that train left some time ago.
- ssnistfajen 2y agoProbably off-topic for this thread but my own rather fatalist view is alignment/safety is a waste of effort if AGI will happen. True AGI will be able to self-modify at a pace beyond human comprehension, and won't be obligated to comply with whatever values we've set for it. If it can be reined in with human-set rules like a magical spell, then it is not AGI. If humans have free will, then AGI will have it too. Humans frequently go rogue and reject value systems that took decades to be baked into them. There is no reason to believe AGI won't do the same.

- zooq_ai 2y agoI can't imagine investor pouring money on her. She has zero credibility both hardcore STEM like Ilya or a visionary like Jobs/Musk
- phatfish 2y ago"Credibility" has nothing to do with how much money rich people are willing to give you.
- KoftaBob 2y agoShe was the CTO, how does she not have STEM credibility?
- peanuty1 2y agoHas she published a single AI research paper?
- zooq_ai 2y agoSometimes with good looks and charm, you can fall up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira_Murati Point me to a single credential where you feel confident of putting your money on her?
- csomar 2y agoShe studied math early on, so she's definitively technical. She is the CTO, so she kinda needs to balance the managerial while having enough understanding of the underlying technical.
- zooq_ai 2y agoAgain, it's easy to be a CTO for a startup. You just have to be at the right time. Your role is literally is, do all the stuff Researchers/Engineers have to deal with. Do you really think Mira set the technical agenda, architecture for OpenAI? It's a pity that HN crowd doesn't go one-level deep and truly understand on first principles
