Agreed, when a company rises to prominence so fast, I feel like you can end up with inexperienced people really high up in management. High risk high reward for them. The board was also like this - a lot of inexperienced random people leading a super consequential company resulting in the shenanigans we saw and now most of them are gone. Not saying inexperienced people are inherently bad, but they either grow into the role or don’t. Mira is probably very smart, but I don’t think you can go build a team around her like Ilya or other big name researchers. I’m happy for her with riding one of wildest rocket ships in the past 5 years at least but I don’t expect to hear much about her from now on.
