Mikhail Parakhin Breaks Silence On Mustafa Suleyman

As you could bear in mind, Mustafa Suleyman grew to become the CEO of AI at Microsoft after which shortly after we heard that Mikhail Parakhin stepped down as the top of Bing Search and Microsoft Promoting. Since then, Mikhail Parakhin has been very quiet on X, however he did publish one response this week on Mustafa Suleyman.

Steve Jurvetson posted a abstract of Mustafa Suleyman’s discuss at a TED occasion on X that’s getting a whole lot of consideration (and the picture above it from him), he wrote:

The brand new CEO of Microsoft AI, Mustafa Suleyman, with a $100B finances at TED:

“AI is a brand new digital species.”

“To keep away from existential threat, we must always keep away from:
1) Autonomy
2) Recursive self-improvement
3) Self-replication

We’ve 5 to 10 years earlier than we’ll need to confront this.”

In response to that, one particular person on X looped in Mikhail Parakhin saying “we want you, not going to lie.” Through which Mikhail replied, “Laborious to disagree :-).”

Listed below are these posts:

As I stated earlier than, We have quoted Mikhail Parakhin right here numerous occasions over the previous couple of years, to listen to that he’s leaving the position makes me tremendous unhappy. His transparency and willingness to take heed to the group was wonderful. I miss overlaying what Microsoft was working up behind the scenes round Bing and Copilot primarily based on his early previews in his posts on X.

I’m instructed from inner sources that Mikhail Parakhin remains to be working at Microsoft. And Mikhail confirmed so on X including, “Yep, within the planning section, will share extra after I can.”

Discussion board dialogue at X.
