I didn’t have much sense of who Ilya Sutskever is or what he thinks, so I searched for a recent interview. Here’s one from the No Priors podcast two weeks ago:

No clear clues about today’s drama, at least as far as I could tell, but still an interesting listen.

Judging from this interview, I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for more openness. Ilya seems to be against open sourcing models on the grounds that they may be too powerful. Good thing no one asked him to invent a wheel, after all people could travel too fast for their own safety.

Yeah, these well meaning safety / human alignment ideas sound more like centrally planned communism. In theory, good for everyone, in practice bad for everyone.

Interestingly socialist Europe(45% of gdp) and even capitalistic usa (25%) collect and redistribute more in tax revenue than Russia (10%) and China (12%). Numbers from memory maybe slightly off.

The flaw in communism was the central planning. The flaw in ai safety / alignment is also the central planning. Capitalism redistributed more wealth to the poor. Decentralized ai will distribute more benefits to humans than a centralized ai, even if it’s openly planned.
