It's not prioritizing safety, beneficial AI, all of those things.

At the same time, he is running an AI company, XAI, that puts very few guardrails on what people can do with those models.

They famously have launched AI girlfriends that talk to people in kind of a romantic and sexual manner.

People are able to…

jailbreak the models and do all sorts of things with them, it occasionally like goes off the rails and does kind of crazy things itself.

And so I think while, again, this isn't being litigated per se, like there is a deep irony in Elon Musk making these arguments about open AI, which frankly has a lot of guardrails in place, although it possibly needs more depending on who you talk to.

I think he has a shot.

I think that it's, you know, I think it really depends on who you talk to.

I think personally, I would be surprised to see Elon Musk be completely victorious in this case.

But I think they're taking it seriously because it's not impossible.

Like he's throwing everything he can at this.

And while I do think OpenAI has a lot of evidence that Elon Musk knew along the way that they were restructuring, that they had to do that to raise outside capital because it is so horrifically expensive.

to build frontier AI models, you know, it's Elon Musk.

So I don't think you can ever completely discount his legal fights, even when they seem spurious at the outset.

Yeah, so it's really interesting.

There was a study from Stanford that came out months ago that said AI, from what we can tell, is in fact taking jobs from younger workers.

And that makes sense because you still need people managing the AI agents, but like if AI agents can do the work of kind of more junior employees, then perhaps you need less of them.

At the same time, we know that the way that AI is being rolled out at a lot of companies is not actually creating the efficiencies that people have expected, at least not yet.

But I think having talked to a lot of people in Silicon Valley lately, both people who are affected by the layoffs, managers who are going all in on this kind of new AI forward company structure, that there is actually, and I hope I don't get like completely taken down on

internet for this.
