This is quite the loss for OpenAI.

And no one seems to have heard what Ilya Sutskever's status is at OpenAI as well.

If I was Sam Altman, Ilya would be on a short leash. I’m actually amazed he wasn’t booted already.

He might be talented, but if he can’t be trusted, he needs to go.

That’s why you are not Altman by huge margin ( and i am not a fan of latter).

Building business requires latticework of talented people doing job properly. And building a system of checks and controls for less trusted people.

> He might be talented, but if he can’t be trusted, he needs to go.

Ironically that may be exactly what Sutskever thought about Altman.

Frankly I consider every moment of silence from Ilya a reason to keep my expectations above the floor and I imagine a lot of people feel the same with how drunk on ai doomerism and gatekeeping Ilya was. The only downside to the silence is it gives him time to try and shake off the association between his name and that circus with the board.
