Deep dives
Investment Surge in AI Companies
The recent spike in investment for AI companies, particularly Ilya Sutskever's Safe Superintelligence, showcases the growing enthusiasm and competition in the field. This startup's valuation skyrocketed from $5 billion to $20 billion in just a few months, significantly aided by the reputation of its founding team, including several ex-OpenAI researchers. The focus on achieving AGI without immediate revenue generation reflects a strategic approach prioritizing long-term goals over short-term profits. This trend raises questions about investor expectations, especially regarding whether these companies have viable technology to justify such high valuations.
