    Totally a coincidence that Musk has an AI company of his own, and that his AI company has no chance of competing with OpenAI.

    While I agree with Musk on this, he should take a good look in the mirror. I remember when he stated similar goals himself.

      Yeah the hypocrisy is off the charts lmao. The logical next step is Sam suing Elon for same reason

        It definitely is, but its still a very strange feeling reading what Musk says and thinking “Huh, he has a point there”

        we don’t live in a perfect world though

    Elon is just absolutely desperate to be a part of ANY conversation at all, isn’t he?

    He can’t stand the idea of one single popular topic du jour that he doesn’t have things to spout off about.

      I mean he was one of the founders and original board members of OpenAI so it’s not that abstract

      I believe he’s even showing up in Alex Jone’s spaces on Twitter too. I have no proof and only a gut feeling alongside the participant sounds just like Elon, speaks in vague tech bullshit just like the man, and only espouses goals and a world view that just so happens to align with Elon and his goals.

    yay yay Musk is bad… BUT, and hear me for a second, I kinda agree that OpenAI has betrayed its goal to benefit humanity. Ulterior motive or not, I hope this gets somewhere.

    His complaint is hinged on the idea that GPT-4 is an AGI, so… I don’t think this is going anywhere. It’ll be interesting to hear what each side says constitutes an AGI though.

      This is America, you can basically sue anyone for anything.

      Whether you’ll be successful or not is a different question.

      You can if the company is a non-profit like open AI. Basically when you take on investments for a company you declare what the goal/purpose of a company is, either to make money (for profit) or for some other nebulous cause (non-profit) eg. Ending hunger or saving humanity from AI. If an investor thinks you aren’t following that goal and are pursuing some other goal then they can sue the company.

      Sadly most companies are for profit so they can only be sued if they’re trying to do something that doesn’t optimally make money. So a fossil fuel company can’t be sued for legally dumping poison into the air if it’s the most cost efficient method, but they can be sued if they do a less cost efficient solution that would make air quality better because improving people’s health isnt there goal, making money is.

    The optimal move for “Humanity” would be to stick both of those assholes in a cage to fight to the death & then euthanize the winner.

    Oh sick, does that mean we can sue Elongated Muskrat for the exact same thing? Pretty sure he abandoned “benefiting humanity” goal as well with SpaceX, Tesla, PayPal (formerly X.com), and Twitter.

      Boring company/hyperloop is the clearest example.

      Literally any subject matter expert on the subject of transportation can spell out a half a dozen things that make no sense/are actively harmful about all the attention and investment these projects got. Well There’s Your Problem has a 3 hour slideshow on the subject, for example. Musk was even caught on the record admitting one of its motivations was to fuck with real transportation projects like California HSR. The whole thing was all-but-provably an elaborate con.
