haider asks how much longer Ilya Sutskever will stay in his "cave": nearly 2.5 years since founding Safe Superintelligence in June 2024, with no model, blog post, technical paper, or even a public plan — while SSI sits at a $32B valuation.
The attached screenshot shows Ilya's original announcement: pursuing safe superintelligence "in a straight shot, one focus, one goal, one product" via breakthroughs from a small cracked team. Whatever he's cooking better be worth the wait.
