@mrsgreenpotato My bad, I wasn't sure if people would prefer a Twitter link instead of the screenshot, since Twitter won't show you the tweet unless you're logged in now.
I'm not logged in and I can see the tweet without any problems.
I wonder if she asked chatgpt to write this for her
I asked ChatGPT what it thought of this:
The phrase "rats leaving a sinking ship" often conjures images of individuals abandoning a failing situation in search of safety, reflecting a natural instinct for self-preservation. In the world of tech, leadership changes can evoke similar sentiments, particularly when a high-profile figure like Mira Murati steps down as CTO. Her departure may signal deeper issues within the company, leading to speculation about its stability and future direction. Just as rats flee a deteriorating vessel, employees and stakeholders might interpret her exit as a warning sign, prompting concerns about the organization's health and long-term viability.
Murati’s tenure as CTO brought innovation and leadership, positioning the company as a front-runner in its industry. Her decision to leave could suggest an unraveling of the strategic vision that once propelled the organization forward. This parallel highlights the instinctive reaction of those within the company; employees may feel uncertain about their future, mirroring the chaos and trepidation felt aboard a ship in distress. The fear of instability can lead to a wave of resignations, as others seek to secure their own positions before the situation worsens.
However, not every departure must be viewed through a negative lens. Just as rats leaving a sinking ship might find new, more promising environments, Murati’s exit could open doors for fresh leadership and innovative ideas. This shift might provide an opportunity for rejuvenation and growth within the company, allowing it to adapt and evolve. While the immediate reaction may be one of alarm, such transitions can also lead to renewed focus and a stronger foundation, illustrating that change—though often unsettling—can ultimately foster resilience and progress.
Emphasis mine - no shit!
Also, good luck to those enterprising rats finding a more promising environment in the, er, sea...
Seems like you might have fed it the phrase "rats fleeing a sinking ship" to steer its output in a specific direction.
Who would do such a thing??
Surely not!
