What next? Meta?
- visarga 2y agoMaybe Microsoft, for being so close with OpenAI. Maybe Apple, who really needs a tech lead for AI. Maybe Google, his previous workplace, or work for Elon, who was successful in poaching Andrej in the past. Or a startup, he can raise billions if he so wishes. Wherever he goes in a year will compete with OpenAI. Previous time lead researchers had a philosophical disagreement with Sam they left and created Anthropic, which recently caught up to OpenAI. That's the risk of letting Ilya go. And where Ilya goes, other top researchers will go too.
- surfingdino 2y agoIt depends on the anti-compete clauses in his contract.
- meowtimemania 2y agoAren’t those non enforceable now?
- mtnGoat 2y agoMight still be enforceable at this level.
- cellis 2y agoHypothetically: Could someone play for both the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors? Something tells me those non competes are unenforceable.
- rvba 2y agoIsnt those just branches of the same company?
- ClarityJones 2y agoYou can have contracts within a company.
- cellis 2y agoNow I'm curious how the NBA is structured. I always thought the "ownership" was who paid the players and signed the contracts (in essence, an NBA team is a company), and the NBA simply enforced the rules of the contracts (the "templating", if you will), but I'm sure it's much more complex than that. I made the analogy because NBA players often move from team to team and there are no non-competes keeping them from playing for another team.
- meowtimemania 2y agoMaybe the NBA is a franchise and each team a franchisee?
- navane 2y agoI don't know how to word it, but a company that ignores all content rights enforcing a non compete seems ironic to me.
- mhowland 2y agoNot really a thing in CA, largely unenforceable.
- surfingdino 2y agoThanks for pointing that out, I didn't know it. What about NDAs?

- Tenoke 2y agoIlya cares about AI Safety and AGI. Meta's whole positioning is to dismiss it. No way he goes there.
- can16358p 2y agoPerhaps that's exactly why he might go there: to change it for a reason (a new company path long term, or just upcoming potential regulations etc.) I don't believe it either, but in case it happened, it might make some sense that way.
- casebash 2y agoNot possible because they've got LeCun.
- seydor 2y agoMaybe the best to guarantee safety is to openly share the science. Lecun is also more 'academic style' than most competing labs
- HarHarVeryFunny 2y agoI'm guessing his next move is not related to LLMs, maybe not even to the pursuit of AGI.
