How are they gonna pay for their compute costs to get the frontier? Seems hard to attract enough investment while almost explicitly promising no return.

- CaveTech 2y ago5 minutes of training time should go far
- bps4484 2y ago6 figures would pay for a week for what he needs. Maybe less than a week

- neuralnetes-COO 2y agoI dont believe ssi.inc 's main objective is training expensive models, but rather to create SSI.
- jhickok 2y agoWonder if funding could come from profitable AI companies like Nvidia, MS, Apple, etc, sort of like Apache/Linux foundation.
- visarga 2y agoI was actually expecting Apple to get their hands on Ilya. They also have the privacy theme in their branding, and Ilya might help that image, but also have the chops to catch up to OpenAI.
- imbusy111 2y agoWhat if there are other ways to improve intelligence other than throw more money at running gradient descent algorithm?
- dontreact 2y agoPerhaps. But also throwing more flops at it has long been Ilya’s approach so it would be surprising. Notice also the reference to scale (“scale in peace”).
