post mortem on the CTO of open AI leaving
Oh shi
the CTO of
Open AI Mira Murati
just left the company
this is the public
statement that she
posted
and here is the public
response from
the CEO and I just
wanna point out one thing
when Mira informed me this
morning that she was
leaving. Does that
mean she
gave no
notice
and just
left the day
that she told Sam
Altman that she's
leaving that would
be insane
for a CTO
of 100 billion
dollar company
to just
leave abruptly
and remember
Mira is not only
the CTO
she was a cofounder
I love
this meme that's
been floating around
here are the four
cofounders and here is who's
could this
mean trouble in
obviously I don't know
what's going on
but I just want to
say you rarely see
c suite
or co founders
if the company is
going well in the first
years
