Sam and Elon sittin' in a tree, ? I S S I N G – The saga continues

Cade Metz, OpenAI Says Elon Musk Tried to Merge It With Tesla, NYTimes, Mar. 5, 2024:

OpenAI, in its first public comments about Elon Musk’s lawsuit against the influential artificial intelligence research lab, said that Mr. Musk tried to transform the lab from a nonprofit into a for-profit operation before he left the organization in early 2018.

The comments, made in a blog post published on Tuesday evening, are part of an escalating feud between Mr. Musk and OpenAI, which is now at the forefront of an industrywide A.I. boom. The company said it intended to move to dismiss all the claims in Mr. Musk’s suit.

Mr. Musk filed the suit against OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, on Friday, accusing them of breaching a contract by putting profits and commercial interests ahead of building A.I. for the public good. He said that when the A.I. lab entered a multi-billion-dollar partnership with the tech giant Microsoft, it abandoned its founding pledge to carefully develop A.I. and freely share it with the public.
