Now OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk's lawsuit with an email dump containing a bunch of weird nerd startup funding drama: https://openai.com/blog/openai-elon-musk

Choice quote from OpenAI:

As we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open. The Open in openAI means that everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI after its built, but it's totally OK to not share the science (even though sharing everything is definitely the right strategy in the short and possibly medium term for recruitment purposes).

OpenAI have learned how to redact text properly now though, a pity really.

The core algorithms we use today have remained largely unchanged from the ~90s

Ow boy.

I did laugh when I read somewhere else that Musk wanted to make openAI a part of tesla because google, the guy is just a weird megalomaniac. Just as when he was about to be taken over by apple but wanted the job of apple CEO. Reminds me of cartoon villain stuff where the villain dismisses the ideas of the underlings and then 'comes up' with them himself.

This makes me feel justified in sneering. Jesus christ the horror. The horror.
