Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI Chief Scientist) — Why next-token prediction could surpass human intelligence

I went over to the OpenAI offices in San Fransisco to ask the Chief Scientist and cofounder of OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever (twitter.com/ilyasut), about:
* time to AGI
* leaks and spies
* what's after generative models
* post AGI futures
* working with Microsoft and competing with Google
* difficulty of aligning superhuman AI
