Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Ilya tweet:

After almost a decade, I have made the decision to leave OpenAI. The company’s trajectory has been nothing short of miraculous, and I’m confident that OpenAI will build AGI that is both safe and beneficial under the leadership of @sama, @gdb, @miramurati and now, under the excellent research leadership of @merettm. It was an honor and a privilege to have worked together, and I will miss everyone dearly. So long, and thanks for everything. I am excited for what comes next — a project that is very personally meaningful to me about which I will share details in due time.

Jan tweet:

I resigned

this comes precisely 6mo after Sam Altman's job at OpenAI was rescued by the Paperclip Maximiser. NYT: "Dr. Sutskever remained an OpenAI employee, but he never returned to work." lol

Either 6 months was his required notice, or there was an additional agreement that allowed them to continue for this long. Either way, I'm sure we'll learn nothing else because of an NDA that we also won't learn anything about.

At least they can go on to do useful things again. I would love to see them working on open source super alignment.
