Lawyers for Elon Musk on Tuesday moved to dismiss the billionaire’s lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, ending a months-long legal battle between co-founders of the artificial intelligence startup.

Musk — who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 — sued the company in March, accusing the ChatGPT maker of abandoning its original, nonprofit mission by reserving some of its most advanced AI technology for private customers. The lawsuit had sought a jury trial and for the company, Altman and co-founder and president Greg Brockman to pay back any profit they received from the business.

Sadly it wasn’t a bid to open source the AI, rather than a bid for payment.

I don’t think open-sourcing matters too much here: the datasets are all open sourced and the technique itself is published and well documented. OpenAI’s advantage ia that they can burn the $10 million in processor energy that it costs to train each new model of GPT.

edit: Up through GPT-3, that is (GPT-4 is worse and I don’t know why people would want it)

The emails appeared to show Musk acknowledging the need for the company to make large sums of money to fund the computing resources needed to power its AI ambitions, which stood in contrast to the claims in his lawsuit that OpenAI was wrongly pursuing profit.

Didn’t that get leaked a while back? Or he posted something similarly to Twitter? I vaguely recall him saying that not all that long ago.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Must be a slow news day, they just repost old articles.

sundray@lemmus.org on 11 Jun 22:27 collapse

I think the news is that he’s dropping his lawsuit, and the emails (which are old news in the tech press) are the presumed reason he’s dropping the lawsuit.

Elon Musk embarrasses himself by spouting unsubstantiated bullshit yet again. More news at ten.

DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social on 12 Jun 21:40 next collapse

He’s absolutely correct.

He’s just also a lying hypocrite who wanted to be the one profiting and the texts show it.

Can’t embarrass yourself if you’re incapable of feeling shame.

OpenAI, meanwhile, accused Musk of essentially being jealous that he was no longer involved in the startup, after he left OpenAI in 2018 following an unsuccessful bid to convince his fellow co-founders to let Tesla acquire it.

So a spoiled brat had a massive hissy fit after not getting his way? Yeah, that sounds like Elon alright.

Imagine all the bullshit promises he would make if he bought ChatGPT.

Yeah he didn’t give a shit if they switched to for-profit, he was just mad he wasn’t getting some of that profit

Wait a moment did I just read that musk kinda fought to make open AI nonprofit lol ? Insert the worst person you knew made a great point meme here

Pretty sure Musky boy is annoyed that they profiteered off of the non-profit because that’s exactly what he would do amd they got there first.

A broken clock is right twice a day. He’s more like a broken calendar, but still.

There’s 1440 minutes per day, a lock that’s right twice a day is right for 1/720th of the time. A broken calendar, right for one day of 365, is actually accurate twice as often as a broken clock.

No, he was vindictively attacking a company he was involved with.

It just happened to be good for others.

CileTheSane@lemmy.ca on 12 Jun 21:49 collapse

Not in the slightest. It was just his flimsy excuse to sue a competitor/someone he doesn’t like, and the released emails show he doesn’t believe a word of it. That’s why he dropped it.

iAvicenna@lemmy.world on 12 Jun 07:56 next collapse

Normally seeing after how big tech companies use AI, I would agree with him but he prolly just wants X AI to be the next big thing so he is jealous.
