• globalnode 3y ago
  if i was him id leave, do my own thing.
  • Jayakumark 3y ago
    Google or AWS or Cohere will welcome him with open hands.
    • Cyphase 3y ago
      And/or fistfuls of cash.
    • WendyTheWillow 3y ago
      Or Microsoft.
      • resolutebat 3y ago
        I doubt Microsoft would be willing to host him given that they effectively control OpenAI.
    • solarkraft 3y ago
      With his mission?
      • karmasimida 3y ago
        His mission is super alignment So out of all the companies, possibly only Google can provide a model to him right now to do the alignment work

          Google recently cut down the safety team[1] [1]: https://www.ft.com/content/26372287-6fb3-457b-9e9c-f722027f36b3 https://www.ft.com/content/26372287-6fb3-457b-9e9c-f722027f3...

            That's not the safety team.
    • karmasimida 3y ago
      Google possibly. But I guess he will stay low key for a longer time now ...

      Larry Page was pretty pissed off with Elon Musk for poaching Ilya [1]. A great opportunity for him to come back to Google.

        Elon claims that Larry ended their friendship after he hired Ilya.
        • max_ 3y ago
          Where/when did he say this?

    There is some pretty strong proof in TFA that that is not the case.

            You wrote in general terms and then afterwards made them specific again. I just answered your comment, which is a subthread all by itself. If you don't like the way HN works that's fine but I don't think you should be making further statements here until you've had a look at the guidelines.

        He could easily go to Anthropic.
• breadwinner 3y ago
  If you mean out of the board, yes. But then so are Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.
  • krick 3y ago
    Yeah, but no. "We hope to continue our working relationship and are discussing how he can continue his work at OpenAI" is not the same as "returning to OpenAI as CEO" and "returns as President". Not very subtle difference, even, huh?
    • breadwinner 3y ago
      Ilya is the first guy Sam acknowledged. I believe Sam when he says he harbors zero ill will against Ilya.

    They’ll be back! Only a matter of time.
• tmalsburg2 3y ago
  Not clear at all. Ilya leaving would look really bad for OpenAI. Altman needs him to stay, and he keeps the door wide open for that in the statement. Question is: How much is he willing to offer (money and otherwise) to make that happen?
