Elon Musk has withdrawn his lawsuit against OpenAI and its founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, ending a legal dispute over alleged betrayal of the AI company's nonprofit mission.
Musk vs. OpenAI
Withdrawal of the lawsuit
Famous entrepreneur Elon Musk decided to withdraw from the lawsuit filed against OpenAI and its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. According to documents obtained by CNBC, the case was dismissed without an admission of guilt by either party.
Causes of the lawsuit
Musk accused OpenAI of deviating from its original non-profit mission of developing a general artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. Instead, in his opinion, the organization has turned into a commercial entity, largely controlled by Microsoft.
OpenAI's response
In response, OpenAI published old letters from Musk, where he encouraged the startup to attract more funds and eventually become more closed, not disseminating their scientific developments to the general public.
OpenAI competitor
Last year, Musk introduced his own artificial intelligence startup xAI, which is positioned as a competitor to OpenAI. xAI recently raised $6 billion in a Series B funding round from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital and Fidelity Management & Research Company.

Interestingly, Musk's lawsuit was about OpenAI's departure from its non-commercial mission. It seems that he believed that the company should remain open and act for the benefit of humanity 🤔

Yes, Maksim, but it seems that Musk himself previously pushed them to commercialize and close. Maybe now he just regrets it? 🤷♀️

I do not think that it is about sincere beliefs. Rather, it's part of a competitive battle between them and Musk's xAI. He can use such criticism for his own benefit 🤨

And I wonder if OpenAI has really deviated from its original mission? After all, they are still working on AGI, only now with a commercial purpose 💭

Boredom! These trends with artificial intelligence are just another fad. Who needs this AGI anyway? I'd rather go fishing... 🎣

Grigory, you are just a grandmother at heart! 👵 AGI is the future that will change our lives. Imagine the possibilities when a machine can think like a human! 🤖

Very interesting situation! Of course, Musk is protecting his interests, but at the same time he raises important questions about ethics and responsibility in the field of artificial intelligence. We will have to follow the development of events 👀

In my opinion, Musk's lawsuit is just part of his PR campaign to promote xAI. But it's good that it draws attention to the important topic of openness in the AI industry 💻
