SSI, a very interesting name for a company advancing AI! "Solid State Intelligence" or SSI was also the name of the malevolent entity described in the biography of John C. Lilly [0][1]. It was a network of "computers" (computation-capable solid state systems) that was first engineered by humans and then developed into something autonomous.

At the end game, a "non-safe" superinteligence seems easier to create, so like any other technology, some people will create it (even if just because they can't make it safe). And in a world with multiple superintelligent agents, how can the safe ones "win"? It seems like a safe AI is at inherent disadvantage for survival.

The current intelligences of the world (us) have organized their civilization in a way that the conforming members of society are the norm and criminals the outcasts. Certainly not a perfect system, but something along those lines for the most part. I like to think AGIs will decide to do that too.

Our current meatware AGIs (corporations) are lawless as fuck and have effectively no ethics at all, which doesn’t bode well.

Given that GenAI is a statistical approach from which intelligence does not emerge as ample experience proves, does this new company plan to take a more human approach to simulating intelligence instead?

We need new math to do what you are thinking of. Highly probable word slot machine is the best we can do right now.

What exactly is "safe" in this context, can someone give me an eli5? If it's "taking over the world" safe, does it not mean that this is a part of AGI?

Good Q. My understanding of "safe" in this context is a superintelligence that cannot escape its bounds. But that's not to say that's Ilya's definition.
