If you're working on superintelligence I don't think you'd be worried about not getting credit due to a lack of publications, of all things. If it works, it's the sort of thing that gets you in the history books.

It might get Ilya in the history books, and maybe some of the other high profile people he recruits early on, but a junior researcher/developer who makes a high impact contribution could easily get overlooked. Whereas if that person can have their name as lead author on a published paper, it makes it much easier to measure individual contributions.
- FeepingCreature 2y agoThere is a human cognitive limit to the detail in which we can analyze and understand history. This limit, just like our population count, will not outlast the singularity. I did the math a while back, and at the limit of available energy, the universe has comfortable room for something like 10^42 humans. Every single one of those humans will owe their existence to our civilization in general and the Superintelligence team in specific. There'll be enough fame to go around.
