Ilya Sutskever launched clothing collection with his eye and panama hat

Hold on tight because this news is pure absurdity brought to perfection. Ilya Sutskever, AI legend, is launching a clothing collection. No, seriously.

As a reminder, Ilya Sutskever – this is co-founder and former chief scientist of OpenAI, author of transformer architecture. And who after dramatic departure from OpenAI, connected with the story of Sam Altman’s firing, founded his own company Safe Superintelligence. As he said, putting AI safety at the forefront, not the race for hype.

I’ll start with the backstory. Karina Nguyen – this is a well-known researcher who worked as top manager at Anthropic. Then she headed the research direction at OpenAI. Where she worked on projects like ChatGPT Canvas, Tasks and others. And about a week ago she announced she’s leaving the startup. To open her own fashion house dedicated to AI. Career turn that’s something, right?

Nguyen called it Maison AGI and stated she’ll create “cultural artifacts of the AI era”. And today the first drop of the first collection came out, developed together with Ilya Sutskever. Available are 3 t-shirts: The Gaze, Multi-Head and Attention. Just look at this design.

The eye on The Gaze t-shirt, judging by the ad, is drawn from Ilya’s eye specifically. And the collection will include that very panama hat, created based on the pattern of his head. We live in a world where one of the fathers of modern AI sells merch with his eye and a hat in the shape of his head.

What even is this? Maybe this is an ironic comment on the cult of personality in the tech world? Honestly, the line between genius and madness is getting thinner.
