On: Ilya Sutskever to leave OpenAI

[Atotalnoob]

I’m not surprised with what happened with Sam Altmans ousting. He missed the king.

I’m surprised he lasted this long.

Mira Murati also "missed the king" and just delivered the keynote

Seems like she was more appointed, than actually trying to make moves?

Not according to the reporting

Where was this reported?

Reid Hoffman provided some clear (at least to me) evidence for Mira's non-involvement → https://youtu.be/IgcUOOI-egk?si=FiSPt87v3pM3lfKt&t=851

Someone just above posted this, which shows that she did reach out to the board with concerns about his leadership style prior to the ouster: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/technology/openai-executi...

What makes you say that? I have barely any idea who she is outside of this thread.

[vagab0nd → zombiwoof]

Care to elaborate? And who's the biggest?

[blackeyeblitzar → zombiwoof]

I’ve heard this sentiment from others but don’t know much about it. Can you say more? Is it because of her background (product management)? If she doesn’t have any skills why do you think Sam Altman keeps her around - if she a Sam supporter?

Dont say that out loud though...

[mckirk → Atotalnoob]

Great, now I have that whistling stuck in my head again.

Thanks for the reminder though, been a while since I've thought of The Wire :)

Oh, indeed.
