I sent the following message to our team and investors:
—

As you know, Daniel Gross’s time with us has been winding down, and as of June 29 he is officially no longer a part of SSI. We are grateful for his early contributions to the company and wish him well in his next endeavor.

I am now formally CEO of SSI, and Daniel Levy is President. The technical team continues to report to me.

⁠You might have heard rumors of companies looking to acquire us. We are flattered by their attention but are focused on seeing our work through.

We have the compute, we have the team, and we know what to do. Together we will keep building safe superintelligence.

Beyond excited to be starting this company with Ilya and DG! I can't imagine working on anything else at this point in human history. If you feel the same and want to work in a small, cracked, high-trust team that will produce miracles, please reach out.

Superintelligence is within reach.

Building safe superintelligence (SSI) is the most important technical problem of our​​ time.

We've started the world’s first straight-shot SSI lab, with one goal and one product: a safe superintelligence.

It’s called Safe Superintelligence Inc.

SSI is our mission, our name, and our entire product roadmap, because it is our sole focus. Our team, investors, and business model are all aligned to achieve SSI.

We approach safety and capabilities in tandem, as technical problems to be solved through revolutionary engineering and scientific breakthroughs. We plan to advance capabilities as fast as possible while making sure our safety always remains ahead.

This way, we can scale in peace.

Our singular focus means no distraction by management overhead or product cycles, and our business model means safety, security, and progress are all insulated from short-term commercial pressures.

We are an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, where we have deep roots and the ability to recruit top technical talent.

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

If that’s you, we offer an opportunity to do your life’s work and help solve the most important technical challenge of our age.

Now is the time. Join us.

Nothing quite like looking at the way someone else has loaded the dishwasher to remind you that the mind of another is truly unknowable

Issac Newton was an alchemist. Alan Turing thought telepathy is real. It's undeniable at this point that people at the upper bounds of intelligence are quasi-mystics. A material universe made of inert atoms is for midwits only

Anti-democracy leftists are so funny. It never occurs to them that if their belief system performs horribly in elections, then it also probably means that there aren't enough of them to win a civil war
