"We will do it through revolutionary breakthroughs produced by a small cracked team."
Now I think he probably meant a "crack" team.
The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Crack \Crack\, a.
Of superior excellence; having qualities to be boasted of;
as, a crack shot. [Colloq.]
[1913 Webster]
But maybe that was a Freudian slip. This all seems like crackpot nonsense to me.
OpenAI is currently seeking to create AGI, or artificial general intelligence, which would hypothetically match human intelligence at performing a wide variety of tasks without specific training.
Psychologists gave up on the idea of "general intelligence" decades ago. People have mental skills--many of them. There is no "general intelligence." That's why no one pays any attention to "intelligence" tests anymore.
What the hell is meant by "superintelligence" anyway? Computers can be programmed to do some things better than humans. For example, they can usually calculate much, much more quickly than human beings. Is this "superintelligence"?
It's time to admit that there is no artificial intelligence because there is no intelligence. There are only many different mental abilities. The word intelligence is not useful. Hence, the term "artificial intelligence" is also useless.
Scammers like Sutskever should be ignored. They certainly shouldn't be given money.
