Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

This post contains a transcript of an interview with Ilya Sutskever, former chief scientist at OpenAI and co-founder of Safe Superintelligence. In the interview, he discusses model jaggedness, emotions and value functions, why humans generalize better than models, alignment, and more. Sutskever says that current models generalize dramatically worse than people and that it is a very fundamental thing. Scaling has gotten big - it's time to get back to research to continue creating improvements.
