Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Ilya Sutskever comes up
Google Part III: The AI Company. Google is amazingly well-positioned... will they win in AI? (Audio) · Acquired
- ▶ 6:39 David Rosenthal Ilya Sitzkever, founding chief scientist of OpenAI, who along with Jeff Hinton and Alex Korczewski had done the seminal AI work on AlexNet and just published that a few years before all three of them were Google employees, as was Dario…
- ▶ 47:24 David Rosenthal Alex Krzyzewski and Ilya Sutskiver.
- ▶ 49:12 David Rosenthal Jeff and Alex and Ilya did, is they knew, like we've been talking about all episode, that deep neural networks had all this potential, and Morselot advanced enough that you could use CPUs to create a few layers.
- ▶ 52:09 David Rosenthal So, after AlexNet, the three of them from Toronto, Jeff Hinton, Alex Koshevsky, and Ilya Sitskiver, do the natural thing,
- ▶ 56:02 Ben Gilbert And the three of them were supposed to split at 33 each and Alex and Ilya go to Jeff and say, I really think you should have a bigger percent.
- ▶ 1:05:41 David Rosenthal Like, Jeff and Ilya and Alex aren't really thinking about this yet.
- ▶ 1:34:33 Ben Gilbert It's the most Ilya quote of all time.
- ▶ 1:34:35 David Rosenthal The most Ilya quote of all time, because that person was Ilya Sutskiver.
- ▶ 1:35:31 Ben Gilbert It's sort of an activation energy problem where once Ilya said, okay, I'm in, and once he said, I'm in, by the way, Google came back with a big counter, something like double the offer, and I think it was delivered from Jeff Dean…
- ▶ 1:37:36 David Rosenthal Well, in the first days, it was all hands on deck recruiting and hiring researchers, and there was the initial crew that came over, and then pretty quickly after that in early 2016, they get a big, big win when Dario Amadei leaves Google,…
- ▶ 1:38:04 David Rosenthal And he, along with Ilya, would run large parts of OpenAI for the next couple years before, of course, leaving to start Anthropic.
- ▶ 1:40:36 Ben Gilbert When Alex Krzyzewski arrives at Google with Jeff Hinton and Ilya Sitskiver, he was shocked to discover that all their existing machine learning models were running on CPUs.
- ▶ 2:10:06 David Rosenthal Reid Hoffman joins the board of this new structure, along with Sam, Ilya, Greg Brockman, Adam D'Angelo, and Tasha McCauley.
- ▶ 3:17:33 Ben Gilbert There's the domino of Ilya leaving Google to start OpenAI, and the downstream effect is Google is not broken up.
Google Part II: Alphabet (Audio) · Acquired
- ▶ 3:40:05 David Rosenthal His collaborator on the AlexNet paper, Ilya Sutskiver, founding scientist of OpenAI, Dario Amadei, co-founder with his sister of Anthropic, Andre Karpathy, until recently chief AI scientist at Tesla, Chris Ola, Noam Shazir, Ian Goodfellow,…
- ▶ 3:41:29 David Rosenthal Because it is also during this time while Ilya is working at Google that he poses the question to his research colleagues and the Google brain team that is working on all of this.

- ▶ 2:39:22 Ben Gilbert Is Ilya Sutskiver, who is the co-founder of OpenAI?
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang · Acquired
- ▶ 19:26 Jensen Huang And that included Yann LeCun and Andrew Ng and Jeff Hinton, and that's how I met all these people, and, and I used to go to all the AI conferences, and that's where, you know, I met Ilya Suskeberg there for the first time.
- ▶ 20:46 David Rosenthal Like, you know, because you were so connected to the researchers, to Ilya, taking that talent out of Google and Facebook, to be blunt, but reseeding the research community and opening it up, um, was such an important moment.
- ▶ 21:01 Jensen Huang I wasn't involved in the founding of it, but I knew a lot of the people there, and, um, uh, Elon, of course, uh, I knew, and, uh, uh, Peter Beal was there, and Ilya was there, and,
Nvidia Part III: The Dawn of the AI Era (2022-2023) (Audio) · Acquired
- ▶ 14:25 David Rosenthal And then there was a third person on the team, Alex's fellow PhD student in this lab, one Ilya Sutskiver.
- ▶ 14:38 David Rosenthal Ilya is the co-founder and current chief scientist of
- ▶ 14:45 David Rosenthal So after AlexNet, Alex, Jeff, and Ilya do the very natural thing.
- ▶ 16:23 David Rosenthal So the Google brain team and Jeff and Alex and Ilya, one of the big projects they work on is redoing the YouTube algorithm.
- ▶ 23:02 David Rosenthal And that key player was Ilya Suskiver.
- ▶ 23:07 David Rosenthal So after the dinner, Ilya leaves Google and signs up to become, as we said, co-founder and chief scientist of a new independent AI non-profit research lab backed by Elon and Sam.
- ▶ 27:54 Ben Gilbert One is a young Ilya Sitzkiver, and two is Andrei Karpathy.
- ▶ 29:15 David Rosenthal So at Spring GTC this year, Jensen did a fireside chat with Ilya, and it's amazing.
- ▶ 29:44 David Rosenthal And Ilya has this amazing response to that.
- ▶ 31:11 David Rosenthal That Ilya just left.
- ▶ 35:35 David Rosenthal So Google obviously knows how important this is, and there's like a year where Google's AI work, even though Ilya has left and OpenAI is a thing now,

- ▶ 46:21 David Rosenthal He was a PhD student in collaboration with Ilya Sutskiver and Jeff Hinton.
