Ilya Sutskever has become invisible at OpenAI, his future uncertain

At one company we worked we had a courtyard and for some reason there was a separate office outside the main complex all on it's own - we suspect it was a repurposed visitors or security center.

We then noticed that people moving into it never came back to the main building but left - we started calling it the "departure" lounge :).

He is in the "departure" lounge - he just needs to figure it out that his time at OpenAI is over.

He will be welcomed in Google, Meta,.. almost anywhere, even MS. It's not the end of the carrier, rather new beginning, or turning point. Staying at OAI may require sort of apology, which may be impossible depending of his ego size.

He did already kind of apologize though?

Some actions cannot be undone - hard to backstab and then say you sorry - Altman will never trust him again.

He might get a "sideways" promotion to do something that will frustrate him and make him leave on his own volition.

Exactly, he could go and train grog. But seriously, some AI companies raise with ease 100MM or even more. Guess Ilya would have no trouble to raise the same amount or even more. He knows for sure what is needed to get to GPT4 level.
