Recently, Musk’s “war” of OpenAI has caused a lot of controversy in the technology circle, but as the incident continues to ferment, many netizens said that this melon is “more confused the more you eat”… The Heart of the Metaverse Team has sorted it out for everyone.Let’s take a look at the timeline of this event!
01. Musk filed a lawsuit, Ultraman responded from a distance
On March 1st local time,Elon Musk sues OpenAI and Ultraman for breach of contract.
The lawsuit accused Ultraman and others of betraying the agreement reached at the beginning of OpenAI’s establishment, namely maintaining its identity as a “non-profit company”.
Then,Ultraman posted a message on March 3 and suspected response: “It’s all happening, it’s going to happen again”, alluding to the previous expulsion from the board.
02.OpenAI’s first response
Immediately afterwards, OpenAI also responded in a memo, saying that Musk was one of the co-founders of OpenAI, but was no longer a member of the company.
OpenAI Chief Strategy Officer Jason Kwon denied Musk’s accusation that OpenAI was a “subsidiary” of investor Microsoft, and said the lawsuit may have originated from Musk’s “regret that he is not involved in the company’s affairs now.”
Previously, OpenAI CEO Ultraman said in an interview with the media that Musk was his “hero” and expressed his miss the person who competed with others by creating better technology (that is, shared.Musk during the entrepreneurial period).
At the same time, Kwon also mentioned in the memorandum that OpenAI’s mission is to “ensure that AGI (General Artificial Intelligence) benefits all mankind” and that it has a competitive relationship with Microsoft.
Seth Kugler, a lawyer focusing on corporate governance and artificial intelligence, saidMusk wants to prove that OpenAI gave up its original mission because of authorizing GPT-4, and retaining the exclusive rights of certain technologies, would be “very difficult”.
Kugler said that to prove OpenAI’s violation, Musk must prove that GPT-4 is universal artificial intelligence.
Last year, Musk began forming a team to develop an artificial intelligence that competes with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.at present,He has provided his own AI chatbot Grok on X platform (formerly Twitter).
In addition, OpenAI’s response also mentioned “inquiry from government agencies”, which obviously refers to the recent report of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation into the firing and rehiring of Ultraman last year.
“After the incident last November, the SEC asked us to provide relevant information, and OpenAI is currently cooperating with the investigation,” said Kwon, chief strategy officer of OpenAI.
03. Strange tweets from the former head of developer relations at OpenAI
At the same time, the person in charge of developer relations at OpenAI posted a tweet that seemed somewhat related to this incident one day after resigning: “Open source Al should be a common victory for developers, enterprises and mankind.”
04. OpenAI releases key evidence and slaps Musk in the face
On March 5, local time, OpenAI began to disclose the key evidence of the controversy.The company first released an email conversation in January 2016.
“As we get closer and closer to building artificial intelligence, it makes sense to start being less open” “It is absolutely okay to not share ‘science’.”
And Musk replied: “Yes.”
This is obviously inconsistent with the reasons for Musk’s lawsuit. In addition, there are other puzzling allegations in this lawsuit, such as GPT-4 being a “Microsoft proprietary algorithm” representing general artificial intelligence.
In OpenAI’s response on March 5,It is clear that “all Musk’s allegations” will be dismissed, and made his own rebuttal to Elon’s statement that the company abandoned its original intention of not-for-profit.
The response article was written by five co-founders of OpenAI, who also added: “When we discuss the for-profit structure to advance the company’s mission,Musk wants us to merge with Tesla, or he wants complete control.”
“We cannot agree with Musk on the for-profit terms because we believe that it is against our mission for any individual to have absolute control over OpenAI.”
In the indictment, Musk said that OpenAI has become Microsoft’s “de facto closed-source subsidiary” and focuses on making money rather than benefiting mankind.OpenAI therefore abandoned its nonprofit mission originally funded by him.
Musk believes that this constitutes a breach of contract.Although Musk mentioned OpenAI’s “founding agreement” in the complaint, no formal agreement has been made public yet, and OpenAI’s posts have not directly responded to the question of whether there is a protocol.
05. My family posted another post before OpenAI
March 5,Logan, former head of developer relations at OpenAI, posted another article, expressing my longing for Chief Scientist Ilya.
In the dispute between Ultraman and OpenAI last year, Ilya first attacked, leading the board of directors to fire Ultraman and always insisted on his decision to remove Ultraman with three other board members.
Even posted a message saying “Exiting Ultraman is the ‘only way’ to defend the company’s missionUltraman’s behavior and board interactions weakened my ability to oversee the company’s AI development.”
At this critical moment, Logan’s post is indeed intriguing.
06. Musk implicitly sarcasticly renamed OpenAI to “ClosedAI”
The latest situation is that in the face of the “email” evidence released by OpenAI, Musk said that if OpenAI changes its name to ClosedAI, he will give up the lawsuit.Impressed by OpenAI’s unopen source behavior.
Afterwards, netizens quickly made relevant pictures, and the irony was filled with sarcasm.
Immediately afterwards, Musk himself posted pictures about Ultraman, but Ultraman’s working card was edited. The English letters “Closed AI” were extremely eye-catching, and the entire tweet was full of provocation.
Do you understand the whole story when you see this?However, this matter is not over yet, and more big shots will be exposed one after another. Let’s move the small stool and continue watching the game.
