There’s a halo around Ilya Sutskever as the Albert Einstein of AI. Are there others on par with his— umm, how would you qualify it—- AI intuition or are we idolizing?
Personality cult.
Ilya will literally have a blank check from almost all the VC's in the industry.

> Most of the VCs have already spent their money in the last couple of years. Lol no. There is about ~$500B in VC dollars, not to mention $1.2T in buyout dry powder still floating around. Not to mention venture funds raised continue to grow YoY. https://www.bain.com/globalassets/noindex/2024/bain_report_g...
I was referring more specifically to the AI segment. Many of the VCS are over-exposed and still need to have funds to cover follow-on investments in the space. Not buying that there is the widespread appetite to fund a multi-billion new startup like there was a year or two ago.

Plot twist: Ilya joins xAI next.
If we truly live in the "most entertainig outcome" timeline, this is definitely what's going to happen.
Ilya knows how ChatGPT works. Any company that hires him will be able to catch up with ChatGPT.
You will still need the compute resources of Microsoft, Meta etc. And they have their own people who equally know how LLMs work. Even raising funds is not a certainty given that VCs are becoming more cautious with AI as they realise it's now a platform fight between the mega corporations.
You'd think any investor would be utterly stupid to not make an exception for Ilya, regardless.
