Yet all the AI weirdos on Twitter seem convinced that Ilya "saw something" (AGI) and got scared and wanted to pull the plug...lmao.

Nah, he departed due to politics (failed coup) and shift from research first to profit first. Same with Karpathy I believe.
He’ll most likely go somewhere where he can get a lot of compute and go back to research first.
That doesn't matter, they know how to do LLMs, they don't know how to do AGI. To modern capitalists that means you invest in one and the other someone else can do.
OpenAI was exploratory until they found something that could make them rich, then they went closed and for profit, now you should see them as just another for profit.
