In the rush to monetize their assets, OpenAI and Microsoft are turning to the government contracting spigot:

Interestingly, this is also how IBM survived the Great Depression, it got a lucrative contract to manage Social Security payments. However, AI and AGI are considerably more dangerous and secretive military uses of the technology should be a giant red flag for anyone who is paying attention to the issue.

I wouldn't be surprised if the decision to launch this lawsuit was motivated in part by this move by Microsoft/OpenAI.
