Five days later, OpenAI finally officially responded to Musk's lawsuit!
Just now, OpenAI published a blog post detailing the company's relationship with Musk, and the full text is full of highlights.
What's even more shocking is that Ilya, the chief scientist who has been missing for many days, actually appeared in the author's column?
Pricking Musk's favorite scientist in the heart, OpenAI is really good at it.
In the days before Musk left OpenAI, Musk constantly PUA OpenAI, believing that only by merging OpenAI into Tesla could the probability of beating Google change from 0% to 1%.
But OpenAI eventually withstood the pressure and successfully carved out a path of its own.
OpenAI's official post is open on the front
If you look carefully at openai's official blog, you will find that every sentence is a connotation-
OpenAI's mission is to ensure that the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity, which means not only that we need to develop AGI technology that is both safe and beneficial, but also that we strive to make the benefits of this technology widely available to all sectors of society.
Now, we're going to share with you what we've learned about our mission and some facts about our relationship with Elon Musk.
We plan to refute all the allegations made by Musk.
If you want to develop a true AGI, you first need a huge amount of money.
When OpenAI was founded in late 2015, founders Greg Brockman and Sam Altman had planned to raise $100 million.
An email Musk sent to Greg stated:
We need a figure much larger than $100 million so that it doesn't sound hopeless ......I think we should announce that we're going to start with a $1 billion funding commitment......I will take on the part that others have not been able to provide.Apparently, Musk boasted about Haikou and confirmed that he would provide OpenAI with an initial funding of $1 billion.
However, the irony is that OpenAI, which was a non-profit organization at the time, raised only $45 million from Musk.
From other donors, more than $90 million was raised.
OpenAI also said that the team spent a lot of time exploring possible paths to achieve AGI implementation.
It wasn't until early 2017 that they realized that building AGI would require a lot of computational resources and began estimating the amount of computation that might be needed to implement AGI.
At the time, it was clear to everyone at OpenAI that more funding would be needed to successfully complete the mission – to complete it successfully.
That is, at least billions of dollars of funding are needed every year.
This is far beyond anyone's imagination, especially Elon Musk.
What's even more interesting is that Musk also proposed a merger between OpenAI and Tesla , with full control.
But in the end, he chose to leave OpenAI. Even, write to Altman to give up.
With no hope in sight of the non-profit, Musk decided to take matters into his own hands and build an entity that could compete with Google's Deepmind.
Back at the end of 2017, the OpenAI team agreed with Musk that the next step in the mission was to create a profitable entity.
At the same time, Musk wants to have a majority stake, initial board control, and serve as CEO. During this time, he stopped giving financial support.
It was Reid Hoffman who stepped in and helped OpenAI bridge the gap in funding and operations.
OpenAI was unable to agree with Musk on the terms of forming a profitable company because they believed that it was contrary to their mission for any individual to have absolute control over OpenAI.
Subsequently, Musk proposed to merge OpenAI into Tesla.
In early February 2018, Musk sent an email to Iiya, proposing that OpenAI should be attached to Tesla as its cash cow.
He went on to say that this is exactly the right ......When it comes to fighting Google, Tesla is the only promising option. Even so, the probability of success is very small, but it is not zero.
Soon after, Musk chose to leave OpenAI, believing that there was a zero chance of OpenAI's success and planned to create an AGI competitor within Tesla.
So, when he left at the end of February 2018, he told the OpenAI team that he supported OpenAI to find a way to raise billions of dollars on its own.
By December 2018, Musk told OpenAI via email that just raising a few hundred million dollars was not enough. This project requires an immediate investment of billions of dollars a year, or abandon it. 」
OpenAI said that they are working to make the technology they develop more accessible so that all humans can enjoy the benefits of AI and improve the lives of all people.
And open source is also a way for them to give back to the AI community.
First of all, hundreds of millions of people around the world have access to ChatGPT for free every day.
Albania used OpenAI's tools to speed up its entry into the European Union, shortening the entire process by 55 years.
Digital Green has significantly increased the income of farmers in Kenya and India using OpenAI's technology, reducing the cost of agricultural extension services by a factor of 100.
Lifespan, Rhode Island's largest provider of healthcare services, used GPT-4 to reduce the difficulty of reading its surgical consent form from college to sixth grade.
Iceland uses GPT-4 to preserve the Icelandic language.
OpenAI said that Musk understands that even when he was still at OpenAI, their mission did not include open-sourcing AGI.
Ilya once said to Musk: As we get closer to building AI, it makes sense to be a little more conservative. 」
The OPEN in OpenAI means that people should be able to benefit from the AI after it is built, but it does not mean that we have to share all the scientific results ......Musk agreed at the time.

Musk agreed at the time.
And now, OpenAI is very sorry for Musk's indictment, which is difficult to understand.
Musk first said that OpenAI would fail, and then set up his own company to participate in the competition.
But Musk stabbed OpenAI in the back and filed a lawsuit when OpenAI had made significant progress without him.
OpenAI is running towards their mission and wildly, and humanity will continue to be empowered by these technologies.
Where the hell is Ilya?
At the same time, ilya, who has been called for a long time recently, has finally appeared! This made netizens excited.
In the original Sam Altman recall incident, Ilya Sutskever, as the co-founder and chief scientist of OpenAI, can be said to have played a crucial role.
Although there is still no clear information on whether he has a future in the company. But at least his name is still in the company's internal systems such as Slack.
But he himself has never appeared, as if only cyber footprints exist.
In view of the fact that Ilya's real body did not appear, some people speculated: Could it be that this time he just became a tool man for OpenAI's backstabbing Musk?
This morning, the head of developer relations who left OpenAI posted that he missed Ilya.
Even, he changed his personal signature to the same text as Ilya:
Towards the agi goal of diversity and love for humanity.But somehow, logan suddenly changed again.
This is reminiscent of co-founder Andrej Karpathy, who just returned to OpenAI a year ago, but recently left abruptly.
In an internal letter to employees, Karpathy stressed that he was not leaving for another job and that he was very sorry to leave, according to people familiar with the matter. But Karpathy doesn't enjoy his job at OpenAI — leading a team that develops AI assistants.
Interestingly, with Sutskever temporarily out of the public eye, the rest of OpenAI's leadership began to interact with the team more actively.
Now, Greg Brockman addresses employees and answers questions more often, as does Jakub Pachoki, who is in charge of research.
Altman hinted at the end of the censorship and the announcement of something big
The world has been waiting for OpenAI's next big move.
However, Altman recently said in an internal meeting that the review will end soon.
The OpenAI team is working on GPT-5, and the next version of the generative AI system will be released in the coming months.
Even their own employees came out to comment that something big would definitely happen in the next few months.
Next, just wait for OpenAI to do something.
