I think probably that was maybe a good excuse.
You know, it's also sort of plausible in a sense that
when he's recruiting people to work in AI, we can see how cutthroat it is today with Microsoft and Google and OpenAI offering, you know, meta offering massive salaries and really fighting to get top researchers.
So like, I'm sure there's a level of talent fighting that was going on there, even though it doesn't feel like self driving and chat GPT overlap that much on an AI front, perhaps.
In any case, since that happened, OpenAI then transitioned into a hybrid structure that included a for-profit subsidiary.
Elon Musk has since, of course, founded XAI, which is a competing artificial intelligence company.
Business Insider recently reported on a bunch of the documents that were unsealed in relation to this case, a bunch of new things.
And one of the just, I guess, was kind of surprising to me was Greg Brockman, the CTO of OpenAI,
his diary somehow got included in there.
So there's a bunch of clips where he is like, you know, talking about being free and owning his destiny and you know, what's going to financially help him make a billion dollars.
There was a deposition that happened the last year and Brockman said that his primary motivation was on the mission and the financial reward was a secondary consideration.
And then we have a bunch of these things he wrote in his journal, which is kind of crazy.
He also wrote down a bunch of the pros and cons of breaking up with Elon Musk.
He said, quote, some chance that rejecting Elon will actually lose us.
Sam will find out tomorrow if doing an override all the way through is palatable.
This is the only chance we have to get out from Elon.
Is he the glorious leader that I would pick?
And then he's also, apparently in a separate entry, he's debating how OpenAI is going to move forward and actually become profitable.
He said, if all comes down to the money, we can get it from Tesla, probably.
We could also probably get it from Google, which is kind of interesting because Elon Musk wanted to fund this to be a counterweight to Google, and he's considering getting the money from Google.
