Glad to see Ilya is back in a position to contribute to advancing AI. I wonder how they are going to manage to pay the kinds of compensation packages that truly gifted AI researchers can make now from other companies that are more commercially oriented. Perhaps they can find people who are ideologically driven and/or are already financially independent. It's also hard to see how they will be able to access enough compute now that others are spending many billions to get huge new GPU data centers. You sort of need at least the promise/hope of future revenue in a reasonable time frame to marshall the kinds of resources it takes to really compete today with big AI super labs.
