Part 9/12:
Adding intrigue to the current landscape is a cryptic tweet from Ilia Sutskever, co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI. He posted "Truly the greatest day ever" and swiftly deleted it. Given Sutskever's central role in AI development, his cryptic message sent ripples through the community. It recalls the early days of reasoning models, where hints and subtle signals presaged breakthroughs.
Speculation runs wild: some believe Sutskever might have achieved or glimpsed at something approaching Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—a milestone long sought after by researchers. While it could be simple hype or a personal reflection, the community's obsession with decoding every cryptic message remains intense, and many question if we are nearer to AGI than previously thought.
