Summary
Elon Musk has filed a court injunction to block OpenAI’s transition to a fully for-profit business and prevent it from allegedly restricting investors from supporting competitors like his AI startup, xAI.
Musk accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of antitrust violations, claiming they used “group boycotts” to limit funding for rivals while benefitting from shared sensitive information.
OpenAI dismissed the allegations as baseless. The legal battle reflects escalating competition in the booming generative AI industry, valued at $157 billion, with Musk’s xAI emerging as a new challenger.
Damn broken clocks being right sometimes on accident.
Why? Is musk developing a competing AI.
Of course he is. Fed with all that sweet sweet data from Xitter. So it will be a rascist Frankensteinian nightmare.
Pretty sure their self driving tech is via machine learning.
They might use machine learning for some aspects, but it’s primarily neural nets which are a different thing. Perception based neural nets are also very different than LLMs
How did you guess?
“I bought this country. I can do whatever I want!”
I don’t generally agree with billionaires making government decisions (not that they didn’t already), but i agree with Elon on this one. Nothing good will come from monetizing OpenAI.
Idk if you agree as much as happen to have somewhat aligned interests for completely unrelated reasons.
Yeah, poor word choice on my part. He wants to develop his own AI, and he sees this as a threat to that. I see monetization of AI as a scourge on society.
The article says one of the main claims in the suit is that OpenAi is violating RICO (racketeering) laws. I don’t get how they came up with that but I’m happy someone is turning the screws on them, even if it is Elon.
