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 wonder if they’re counting on nobody in the mainstream press paying attention or even understanding how that stuff is embarrassing and just going for the zinger.
