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.

      Of course he is. Fed with all that sweet sweet data from Xitter. So it will be a rascist Frankensteinian nightmare.

      He was initially invested in OpenAI, but then there was a dispute over the strategies and Musk left OpenAI. Musk now has the company xAI and is developing Grok.

        Ah, so he couldn’t buy a “founder” title. So he made his own.

        Also he refers to Tesla as an AI company now that they have a team working on self-driving cars.

        They might use machine learning for some aspects, but it’s primarily neural nets which are a different thing. Perception based neural nets are also very different than LLMs

            How fitting that googles AI response failed me confirming they were different, without saying it’s a subset of machine learning.
