Good God, it worked at anthropic.
The part I never got, here's the weird part, and maybe this has nothing to do with the tensions.
I mean, her background is not technical.
And this is the part I never got.
A degree in arts from Colby College, and some of the engineering product manager at Tesla.
I'm not saying she's not, doesn't have 50 IQ points on me.
I think she does.
But I don't know how you run a lab if you're not Ilya in the early days of OpenAI, or Greg at least.
I don't know how you get the respect of the team if you're not on their level as a researcher.
And it's a challenge for a lot of other B2B companies.
How do you recruit this S tier AI talent?
If your team isn't at that level, who the hell would want to go work there?
Comp aside, right?
The best, why do folks leave open AI like after a year and leave five or 10 million?
They're just so smart.
They just want to work on smart problems.
This one I felt was unstable.
People loved her, I think, but I'm super skeptical of technical companies where the CEO isn't one of the greatest technical visionaries in the industry.
I'm just, I'll never do that investment again.
I'll never do an investment again where it's not like Databricks are better as CEO.
