More like they iced him for the last 6 months to ensure he wasn’t taking their lead to a competitor. He probably hasn’t touched anything in that time.

Sitting on the roof?

That was literally me at Google

AI is more like Apple and less like the internet. Your rabid fanaticism is what convinces me of its value… not it’s actual value.

Not all AI is hype. We are just surrounded by so much AI hype it’s easy to forget things like Co-pilot didn’t exist just a couple years ago. To say there’s no value in having an assistant to write code at your direction is incorrect.

The iPhone was legitimately revolutionary. I’m not disagreeing with you. I don’t see its value surviving commoditization.

Since it's all in proper casing I'm going to assume he wrote it with chatgpt.

He used “easily one of the greatest minds of our generation” for two different people in the same message. 100% ai generated

AI or GPT usually doesn't repeat like that. Although it usually is easy to tell if something is GPT.

They sell the shovels and the buckets, they're not digging for gold.

They've got money for a very BIG experiment tho

I feel like they’re not going to want to go into direct competition with their most valuable customers.

While he does say, he is leaving for some personal and meaningful project, let’s see what it ends up being.

More like hustle culture’s “spend more time with the family”

Spend more time with my side projects.

Ilya knows how ChatGPT works. Any company that hires him will be able to catch up with ChatGPT.

Catching up right now is not a matter of tech innovation, but raw energy and compute. Of course, the next -revolution- in AI could very well come from Ilya. But why would he bestow that honor to anyone? He can self fund it if he wants. It's an R&D project, not a scaling problem.

I mean, that's probably 90% or 95% true, but the remaining 5-10% is almost certainly worth a $100M offer to Sutskever from Google or Meta (or possibly Amazon or Apple).
