The blanket statements on the SSI homepage are pretty mediocre, and it is only the reputation of the founders that carries the announcement.

I think this quote at the end of this Bloomberg piece[0] gives more context,

> Sutskever says that the large language models that have dominated AI will play an important role within Safe Superintelligence but that it’s aiming for something far more powerful. With current systems, he says, “you talk to it, you have a conversation, and you’re done.” The system he wants to pursue would be more general-purpose and expansive in its abilities. “You’re talking about a giant super data center that’s autonomously developing technology. That’s crazy, right? It’s the safety of that that we want to contribute to.”
