Enterprise customers are building their own internal tools, doesn't mean "AI" is dead. It just means useless API wrappers aren't the golden ticket.

And probably all of the big tech CEOs are trying to get him on the phone right now.
Wouldn’t they have had convos weeks ago and this is just making it official? Sure some people do ‘jump off the burning platform’, but most like to have some alternative options worked out.
well he already mentioned a new project in the original tweet, so need to speculate, it sounds like he's already decided

Well, no.
No VC who wants anything to do with OpenAI would invest in Ilya.
Ilya represents the anti-OpenAI ethos. So it would only be a VC who would be comfortable publicly being an anti-OpenAI VC, which is not that many.

He used “easily one of the greatest minds of our generation” for two different people in the same message. 100% ai generated
it said one was "easily one of the greatest", and it said the second was "also easily one of the greatest"... it's puffery but it's not an awkward or mindless formulation.
doesn't read like chatgpt to me, but i certainly wouldn't call it good quality writing

#95Ilya 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.

2-3 years ago sure, but now? Maybe he knows how to reduce that need by order of magnitude.

He showed exceptionally bad judgement, judgement is perhaps the most important characteristic of high level employees.
He's brilliant, which means someone will take a leap of faith, but he badly, badly damaged his brand as a leader going forward.

Bad judgement? Sam Altman is a prolific liar who attempted to oust a board member by spreading different lies to different people. He's not even an engineer! He has established a cult of personality and popularity, and that's it. They were absolutely right to try to oust him. The only mistake was in doing so in such a ham-fisted manner.
Re: Ilya Sutskever to leave OpenAI
#99Sam "Worldcoin" Altman regrets the loss of a friend that called him out on how OpenAi is becoming closed because the engineers realized they could make a lot of money. Doesn't seem like it is impacting the quality of the models, but it will probably impact openai's impact.
Oklo as well
