So is sounds like effectively his donation was supposed to force them to stay open and develop tech on the cheap that he could then take to use in his commercial systems.
“In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity,” OpenAI said. “Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO. In the middle of these discussions, he withheld funding. Reid Hoffman bridged the gap to cover salaries and operations.”
Elmo is just throwing a tantrum because he wanted to be the one to take them private and roll them into Tesla but the rest of the board said no.
Grifters trying to stymie competing grifts is the ideal use of our throughly corrupt court system. Just the perfect venue for that. It’s like an inception of lies and money.
Yeah it is kind of dumb that you can turn from being non-profit to for-profit if it turns out you’ve struck gold. Cheapens the value of non-profits everywhere if they can turn that around whenever they feel like it.
they didnt strike gold, they are trying to inflict their value crash on the public market. effects will be far reaching, including but not limited to people’s retirement plans.
Somebody should slap some kind of lock on that dudes cockholster. Sick of reading his name. Never interested in hearing his opinion on anything again for as long as I live.
Right now it’s an instance of broken clock being right. OPENAi is a nonprofit. Its proceeds should go into further research and the models should be open sourced - like they used to be! Instead they want to milk it as much as possible quickly.
Okay, I was a bit wrong - they were not REALLY open source, but they had the whitepaper available, they published the dataset, and you could download the model itself, just not the source code. You can find it here

Elon is just mad he didn’t think of it first.
No, he did try it back in 2017:

Isn’t he right this time?
Something something a broken clock
It’s already for-profit, he just doesn’t want to have it called that

They used to be? When?
GPT 1 and 2 were both more open than later releases. However I’m not sure any are fully FOSS.
