How does someone as smart as Sutskever come to believe we can possibly keep a lid on this knowledge? I can't imagine GPT-4 is doing anything much different than what has already been described in publicly available research. Also, does he think that all the engineers that built GPT-4 will work for OpenAI forever? AI algorithms are not like nuclear bombs that take a lot of effort to manufacture.
My only explanation for this kind of talk is that Sutskever has allowed his own financial interests to either directly or indirectly affect his thinking.
I have similar views on the risks of AGI but I can't see how on earth we'll prevent its further development. There are plenty of smart AI researchers who don't work for OpenAI. Oh and remind me again just exactly where OpenAI would be without "Attention is All You Need."

Great summary.
Ilya brought in $1,900,000 (1.9 million) salary from OpenAI in 2016. That's before options.
