The amount of criticism on Elon from ChatGPT users is hilarious. There would be no ChatGPT without Elon. The irony holds: many ChatGPT users criticize Elon while using a product rooted in his early efforts.

Gonna be a rough one in court for OpenAI. I wonder what this does to Microsoft Copilot if OpenAI gets shut down.

If I were Altman, I would try to settle with Musk by giving him some equity or something. This trial will be an absolute circus.

The lawsuit between Elon Musk and OpenAI is surfacing some pretty interesting evidence: OpenAI's Greg Brockman: “It'd be wrong to steal the non-profit from him. to convert to a b-corp without him. that'd be pretty morally bankrupt. and he's really not an idiot.” Days later, [imag…

I learned from @OpenAI's great research on AI scheming: you always gotta check the internal chain of thought, not just the final outputs. Humans don't usually write down scheming chain of thought strings on their hidden scratchpad, but sometimes...

From last night: Elon Musk's case against OpenAI and MSFT is going to trial. As part of her decision, the judge cited Greg Brockman's note from 2017 below. OpenAI called the suit “baseless” and a part of Musk's “ongoing pattern of harassment,” https://www.bloomberg.com/... [image…

Some great stuff in here, including why OpenAI partnered with Microsoft instead of Amazon. Musk in early email to Altman: “I think Jeff is a bit of a tool and Satya is not, so I slightly prefer Microsoft, but I hate their marketing dept.” sources.news/p/20-revelat...

in ~5 years there'll be another marquee case, except this time it won't be personal diaries. it'll be nine ai note takers, three auto dialed bots that you didn't even know were in the meeting, all producing perfect transcripts with timestamps everywhere.

I remembered a lot of this, but here is a part I had forgotten: “Elon said he wanted to accumulate $80B for a self-sustaining city on Mars, and that he needed and deserved majority equity. He said that he needed full control since he'd been burned by not having it in the past,

lots more here: https://openai.com/... elon is cherry-picking things to make greg look bad, but the full story is that elon was pushing for a new structure, and greg and ilya spent a lot of time trying to figure out if they could meet his demands.
