Now OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk’s lawsuit with an email dump containing a bunch of weird nerd startup funding drama: https://openai.com/blog/openai-elon-musk
Choice quote from OpenAI:
As we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open. The Open in openAI means that everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI after its built, but it’s totally OK to not share the science (even though sharing everything is definitely the right strategy in the short and possibly medium term for recruitment purposes).
OpenAI have learned how to redact text properly now though, a pity really.
I should extract some quotes when I’ve got time, but that thread is particularly bad even for the orange site. on a quick scroll through I saw the top comment defending musk with some “well technically he’s not wrong, OpenAI broke its promises” shit that utterly ignores musk was pushing for those promises to be broken, a fuckton of fash dogwhistles (and “the AI is disappointing because it’s being censored” definitely is one of them), and a fucking stupid argument about communism for some reason
