Ilya Sutskever is the last person anyone should want in charge of an AI company. The two main reasons to start one are to make a lot of money and to keep AI under control, and when the chips were down, he failed catastrophically at both. The only reason I can think of to throw in your lot with him is if you’re planning to pull a Sam Altman and seize control once the company takes off, since he’s already proven himself incompetent at boardroom warfare.
