Ilya has Israeli citizenship and has toured Israel and given talks at Israeli universities including one talk with Sam Altman.
He is not anti mil-tech.
- someNameIG 3y agoDid those talks have anything to do with mil-tech though?
- superhumanuser 3y agoUnless the mil-tech was going to their enemies.
- 0xDEF 3y agoI don't think anyone at OpenAI was planning to give mil-tech to Iran and Iranian proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.
- superhumanuser 3y agoYa. You're right. Time to let the theory die.
- kromem 3y agoThat's a pretty big leap of logic there.
- 0xDEF 3y agoIsrael is a heavily militarized country. The country would not be able to exist without the latest military tech. Ilya flirting with the tech scene of Israel is a very good indicator that he is not anti mil-tech.
- kromem 3y agoYour first two sentences would also apply to the US. Does that mean any foreign scientist speaking at US universities advocates military applications of their work?
