You’ve hired some of the worst folks in the industry. Mustafa Suleyman is a grifter. Just ask Google folks what he did - zilch. He’s not technical and just happened to be friends with the co-founder and win big time. Asha Sharma on product is again a big talker but has zero product vision or strategy. Whatever she led at Messenger failed big time. For the first time, I’m questioning Satya’s decisions. Maybe he’s not good at hiring.
Microsoft spends billions in marketing and selling snake oil.
dumb take. super dumb
Not so dumb. They have plenty of incentive to do that. TRILLIONS. All that AI hype is pumping up their stock price, making all the executives several times richer. Even that idiot ex CEo Balmer guy is in the top billioner list now. And MS is not the first company to do that. Previous well known example was IBM with Watson. Initially everyone was impressed with the claims, but then over the years everyone realized it was snake oil.
Second chances?
Your bravery will be acknowledged, and he will be fired on the spot for being the worst in the industry and doing nothing 😂 I love stupid takes like this
Atleast folks who work in that org have been warned. So that they can save themselves( if they can or want to).
Not only is Moose not technical, he’s also a shitty leader. He got fired from the company he cofounded. It’s clear his book was just a vehicle to get himself a position like this. Obviously because inflection never had any depth of talent (Karen was big in CV over a decade ago) or ideas.
Pretty sure Mr. softie is going to do just fine. You’re projecting your own inadequacies; work on you.
Same can be said of Altman (not technical, etc) and ironically he was originally considered for the same role.
Sam has built a startup himself and was at YC for many years. He may not be an ML researcher but he is technical.
Suleyman also built an ai startup.
Will Asha report into Moose? Does she have AI productization experience? Has she commercialized AI products in past? - curious on strategy here..
No AI experience. But good at politicking and PR. Posts a lot, talks a lot, likes to be public face of her area etc. She got to VP at Messenger within 1 year and then left. And everything she led the strategy for at Messenger failed, leaving behind a huge mess.
All will appear in conferences/roadshows/webinars and talk bs. That is their job and not to build something😂Can somebody get ms jakkal to stfu
you can't expect execs to be competent at anything technical. they are simply a bunch of parasites who excels at politics, licking boots strategically, and backstabbing. if it's not the successful funder, they are worth nothing. IC do the worth, they vampirize the results
