A nonprofit, just like OpenAI ...

I don't get the "safe AI" crowd, it's all ghost and mirrors IMO.

It's been almost a year to the date since Ilya got his first billion. Later, another two billion came in. Nothing to show. I'm honestly curious since I don't think Ilya is a scammer, but I can't imagine what kind of product they pretend to bring to the market.

AI safety is a genuinely hard problem.
Indeed.

I just can't wrap my head about what the actual product/service is. Let alone something that could be sold for billions.

"Safe AI" is very ambiguous in terms of product.

If you have a Safe AI, then becoming a billionaire is being an underachiever.
Sure, but again, define "Safe AI" in terms of a product.

What exactly am I buying? How much I'm paying for it?

That's the thing I don't see.

Is it a model? `gpt-3.5-turbo-safe`?

Wouldn't all the money go to the unsafe AI, since it does more?
If someone invents an unsafe AI capable of making a billion dollars, then we will probably all die, which is why we should make safe AI instead.
