r/singularity·medium signal
A r/singularity discussion (699 upvotes, 280 comments) questioning Safe Superintelligence Inc.'s progress went viral. SSI has raised over $3B at a $32B valuation with ~20 employees, but has released no models, demos, or papers. One early engineer (Shahar Papini) departed after roughly a year. Sutskever has stated SSI won't release products until superintelligence is achieved. The thread captures growing community skepticism about whether SSI's pure-research approach can sustain investor confidence.
