Ilya is the center of Open AI. Everyone else is dispensable.
- strikelaserclaw 3y agoHe's the michael corelone
- wannacboatmovie 3y agoWould that make Sam, Fredo?
- late2part 3y agoI'm ignorant and don't disagree - can you say more about why Ilya is the core of Open AI?
- johnwheeler 3y agoBecause he and Habasis became rivals when they parted at Google, and despite Dennis being the golden boy because of AlphaGo, Sutskever ate GOOGLES whole fucking lunch with ChatGPT.
- esafak 3y agoRivals over anything in particular, or just status?
- johnwheeler 3y agoThe future of AI and the trappings that go with it. But in all seriousness, the transformer architecture was born at Google, but they were too arrogant and stupid to capitalize on it. Sutskever needed Altman to commercialize and make a product. He no longer needs Sam Altman. A bit OT but true.
- strikelaserclaw 3y agohe was one of Geoff Hintons students, involved in alexnet, worked on early days of google brain. Ilya is one of the most "distinguished" ml researchers in the world today and i feel like he has a lot more to contribute.
- whatyesaid 3y agoIlya is one of the most cited ML researchers in the world and was part of papers that pioneered basic techniques that we still use today like Dropout. Ilya was recruited by Elon under the original OpenAI. But basically Elon and the original people got scammed by Sam since what they gave money for got reversed, almost none of their models now are open and they became for-profit instead of non-profit. You'd think aspects like closed models are defendable due to safety but in reality there are just slightly weaker models that are fully open.
- icelancer 3y agoAgreed with the former. Not the latter. gdb is no random.
- Keyframe 3y agoHe sure took a different take on disagreeing than what Amodei did before him. Amodei quit and built a big challenger, yet Sutskever opt to oust Altman. Weird all in all. I wouldn't rely my business on such a company.
- ryanSrich 3y agoYou think Karpathy is dispensable? I see him and Ilya both as important, and essentially the brains of the operation. Sam was always the VC guy (very Elon Musk in that sense), that came into the company as the non-founder CEO.
