The legal dispute between Tesla CEO Musk and OpenAI has recently become the focus of the tech industry, sparking widespread discussions in the community. Initiated by Musk on the 29th of last month, the lawsuit alleges that the relationship between OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman, and Microsoft violates its original purpose, undermining the commitment to public open-source AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). However, after OpenAI revealed emails from eight years ago, Musk responded aggressively, igniting a war of words.
On the 5th, OpenAI issued a rebuttal, publicly releasing the email correspondence from eight years ago to counter all accusations. These emails revealed Musk's belief that transforming OpenAI into a profitable entity was a necessary step to achieve the AGI mission. Musk attempted to gain absolute control over OpenAI, even expressing a desire to merge it with Tesla. The emails also disclosed that Musk did not necessarily agree with the idea that achieving OpenAI's mission required open-sourcing.
In response to OpenAI's rebuttal, Musk made a provocative statement yesterday morning, suggesting that he would drop the lawsuit if OpenAI changed its name to "ClosedAI." This sparked lively discussions on social media, with many users providing humorous and creative comments.
Musk even attached a meme adapted from a photo shared by OpenAI CEO Altman last year after being briefly dismissed by the board. The photo depicted Altman holding a name tag with "ClosedAI." However, Altman was actually wearing OpenAI's "visitor pass" at the time, with a caption stating it was his "first and last" time wearing such a pass.
The purpose of Musk filing this lawsuit is to question whether OpenAI has deviated from its original mission of open-source and non-profit and moved toward commercialization. Musk's legal action clearly reflects his dissatisfaction and skepticism about OpenAI's shift towards commercialization, maximizing Microsoft's interests. However, Musk's sudden proposal to drop the lawsuit if OpenAI changes its name raises questions about his true motives behind this move. |
