Ilya Sutskever really seems to think AGI's birth is impending and likely to be delivered at OpenAI.

From that perspective it makes sense to keep capital at arms length.

Is there anything to his certainty? It doesn't feel like it's anywhere close.

My money, based on my hobby knowledge and talking to a few people in the field, is on "no fucking way".

Maybe he believes his own hype or is like that guy who thought ChatGPT was alive.

Maybe he's legit to be worried and has good reason to know he's on the corporate manhattan project.

Honestly though...if they were even that close I would find it super hard to believe that we wouldn't have the DoD shutting down EVERYTHING from the public and taking it over from there. Like if someone had just stumbled onto nuclear fission it wouldn't have just sat in the public sector. It'd still be a top secret thing (at least certain details).

I think there is a good reason for you to be skeptical and I too am skeptical. But if there were a top five of the engineers in the world with the ability to really gauge the state of the art in AI and how advanced it was behind closed doors: Ilya Sutskever would be in that top five.
