“At various times, he wanted to make OpenAI into a for-profit company that he could have control of or have it merge with Tesla. We didn’t want to do that, and he decided to leave, which is fine,” he added.
Moreover, the CEO urged that the corporate remains to be dedicated to its unique trigger as it’s placing highly effective know-how within the palms of individuals totally free, as a public good.
“We don’t run ads on our free version. We don’t monetise it in other ways. We just say it’s part of our mission. We want to put increasingly powerful tools in the hands of people for free and get them to use them,” Altman mentioned.
Recently, Musk sued OpenAI and Altman, alleging they breached their unique contractual agreements round AI.
OpenAI then hit again at Musk’s lawsuit, saying as the corporate mentioned a for-revenue construction with the intention to additional the mission, “Musk wanted us to merge with Tesla or he wanted full control”.
