We might need Useful Superintelligence Inc. / USI before SSI?
Safety is an important area in R&D but the killer application is the integration of LLMs into existing workflows to make non technical users 100x-1000x more efficient. There's a lot of untapped potential there. The big successes will have a lot of impact on safety but it will probably come as a result of the wider adoption of these tools rather than the starting point.
Lots of other companies / people working on that.
No one is really working on safety. So I can see why Ilya is taking on that challenge, and it explains why he left OpenAI.
