The legal fight between Elon Musk and OpenAI is getting more intense. OpenAI released a post defending itself against Musk with new text messages from co-founders like Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, and others.
The blog post stated that suing won’t lead to AGI (artificial general intelligence) and urged Musk to focus on competition, not courtroom battles. They emphasized their goal of ensuring AGI benefits humanity and criticized Musk’s attempts to take control of the company, leading to his resignation.
Musk then started a rival company called xAI after disagreements with OpenAI co-founders. Messages revealed Musk’s concerns about OpenAI’s valuation and his financial contributions.
The messages were mentioned in Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging a shift from OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission. OpenAI’s recent update challenges Musk’s claims about power struggles within the company, aiming to shift the narrative in their favor.
