Can Ilya Sutskever's new venture SSI and Open RAN deliver on their promises? I truly admire the cofounder of OpenAI, Ilya Sutskever, who just announced SSI, a new company with a mission to build safe AI superintelligence. This bold move follows a tumultuous year at OpenAI, where Sutskever, after firing and then supporting the return of CEO Sam Altman, decided to carve his own path. With ex-OpenAI engineer Daniel Levy and investor Daniel Gross by his side, Sutskever's SSI aims to prioritize safety above all, foregoing any immediate commercial products to focus solely on the development of safe superintelligence. The speculation around SSI's non-commercial stance is rife, with many believing that Sutskever and his team are on the brink of a breakthrough that could lead to the safe realization of superintelligent AI. This higher purpose in many ways resembles that of the Open RAN initiative when it comes to mobile network infrastructure. Open RAN, or Open Radio Access Network, aims to disaggregate the traditional monolithic RAN architecture by promoting interoperability through standardized interfaces. This initiative is crucial for fostering innovation, reducing costs, and increasing flexibility in mobile networks. Recently, Open RAN has seen significant advancements, with major telecom operators and tech companies rallying behind its principles. The focus is on creating a more open and versatile network infrastructure that can keep pace with the rapid evolution of mobile technology. Like with OpenAI, the high standards have evolved into less open but still virtualized RAN solutions from the larger vendors. Remarkably, time synchronization is the only function in Open RAN architectures that is not virtualized and disaggregated but still require dedicated hardware support in special line cards  How come we are in 2024 and that is still not the case, I wonder. I'm proud to say that we at least walk the talk! #AI #Superintelligence #OpenRAN #TechInnovation #SafeAI #NetworkSynchronization #LeadershipInTech
