I think most people aren’t aware that as CTO Murati can take a large chunk of the credit for OpenAI’s success. Her skills were mostly in deft technical management, a skill often under appreciated by nerds. Her success here is going to heavily depend on her ability to attract the right talent.
- _yy01 1y agoPlease quantity those contributions in "technical management". Otherwise it sounds like a boilerplate excuse non technical people will use.
- rhubarbtree 1y agoNot sure you can quantify all work, but to the accounts I read she was constantly guiding, scheduling the teams, resolving conflict, allocating resources. Exactly what a CTO does in a company that size. Can’t help but feel there’s some sexism attached to the pushback here.
- ml-anon 1y agoAnd what a conflict resolver she was. It even elevated her to the level of CEO. https://makeagif.com/gif/im-actually-not-sure-about-that-mira-murati-uff8Jt https://makeagif.com/gif/im-actually-not-sure-about-that-mir...
- rhubarbtree 1y agoThis is a good example of the kind of response I wouldn’t expect if she were male.
- _yy01 1y agoFWIW I would be skeptical of tech bros claiming they sped up 80% response time on microservice handling 5000000000 RPS. But I will be even more skeptical when they say "analyzed and implemented business requirements into maintainable and high performance code". More generic, grandiose and oft-repeated someone's claims are, more skepticism is warranted.
