If we take AGI as a certainty, ie we think we can achieve AGI using silicon, then Ilya is one of the best bets you can take if you are looking to invest in this space. He has a history and he's motivated to continue working on this problem.
If you think that AGI is not possible to achieve, then you probably wouldn't be giving anyone money in this space.
This hinges on his company achieving AGI while he's still alive. He's 38 years old. He has about 4 decades to deliver AGI in his lifetime. When he dies, there is no guarantee whoever takes over will share his values.
"If you think that AGI is not possible to achieve, then you probably wouldn't be giving anyone money in this space." If you think other people think AGI is possible, you sell them shovels and ready yourself for a shovel market dip in the near future. Strike while the iron is hot.
