Summary

Elon Musk has filed a court injunction to block OpenAI’s transition to a fully for-profit business and prevent it from allegedly restricting investors from supporting competitors like his AI startup, xAI.

Musk accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of antitrust violations, claiming they used “group boycotts” to limit funding for rivals while benefitting from shared sensitive information.

OpenAI dismissed the allegations as baseless. The legal battle reflects escalating competition in the booming generative AI industry, valued at $157 billion, with Musk’s xAI emerging as a new challenger.

        There’s a difference between corporations profiting off copyrighted data and individuals not profiting…

          Yes, but the comment you replied to literally says “and it can be done on a home computer” and you argue against that with copyright laws

            That was for the VCs. VCs don’t care about the LLM on your computer. They care about openAI et al

              They don’t care about the law either.

      Lol, no it can’t. Do you have any idea how many smaller LLMs are out there? Small enough to be trained and fine-tuned on consumer hardware. And most of those are “open” sourced models. Which means tens of thousands already have them on their computers and running locally. This genie will never go back in the bottle.

      A far stronger argument IMO is that they’re pretty useless.

      Like if there was an open source clippy I could run on my desktop, would I? No, no I would not.
