Musk is even more cartoonishly villainous than MS. This is pretty much Lex Luthor against Darkseid. Unless it results in mutual destruction, doesn't matter who wins, everybody else loses.

My take is that Elon is suing OpenAI because he left OpenAI before they opened a commercial venture, which means he doesn't benefit from the companies current valuation, so he's using the courts to try to strong arm the foundation into giving him some shares, basically using the courts for harassment purposes.

I'm hoping for both to get fucked, and if this takes this whole "AI" hype away with them, so much the better.

Yeah that'd be the ideal turn of events, if both M$ and Elon got fucked by this

In my dream world we'd nuke M$ from orbit and splinter it into a trillion tiny little pieces... A man can dream

>>sensan+U1
We can nuke it from the self sustaining colonies on Mars established by Musk in 2020...

I highly doubt this is the case. The guy has plenty of money, power and clout. There’s really no more for him to gain in those departments. It’s more likely he fears AGI will put humanity into a truly dystopian future if monopolized by a corporation and he wants to ward against that future by ensuring the company is incorporated properly as a nonprofit.

According to the Isaacson book, Sam offered Elon equity in the for-profit arm of OpenAI but he declined. He is clearly motivated by the original mission, i.e. the Open part.
