Is there any way he can even stay if Altman returns? Seems like one of them is out and making their own AI venture soon.

If Steve can make him stay and remain productive, he's a real business genius

>>kranke+(OP)
He could possibly stay in a pure Chief Scientist role while abdicating his board seat. But if I were a CEO, I'd have a hard time trusting a C-level role to someone whose vision is diametrically opposed to my own.

>>kranke+(OP)
Make him the same offer he made Brockman - you can stay on as an employee but you're off the board.

>>kranke+(OP)
He’d probably be better off going to Meta or HuggingFace and working on getting open source as close to OpenAI’s offerings as possible. I expect that real innovation (vs. commercialization) is now fully dead at OpenAI, with them instead focusing on ROÍ for Microsoft.

>>romanh+W
He won't. In a company, you want all employees to share the same vision. Ylia and Altman clearly don't. There is no point pretending

Ilya is not a champion of open source: "We were wrong. Flat out, we were wrong. If you believe, as we do, that at some point, AI — AGI — is going to be extremely, unbelievably potent, then it just does not make sense to open-source. It is a bad idea... I fully expect that in a few years it’s going to be completely obvious to everyone that open-sourcing AI is just not wise."

He's opposed to making powerful models open source, unfortunately.

>>letmev+Ec
He said in an interview 2 weeks ago that below a certain capability threshold it is beneficial and good to open source models —- but once you cross that threshold it is a bad idea.

The example he gave is a model that could independently do science.

That will keep him employed for the three nanoseconds until he gets an offer from a competitor.
