    Who cares what elon thinks? And I’m not sure there was ever a world where openai would have truly let the nonprofit arm take over.

        On the other hand, it doesn’t matter what Elon actually thinks, because he would probably go through with the lawsuit given any available pretext because he’s mad he got kicked out and couldn’t commercialize OpenAI exactly like Sam tried.

          Well, as ever with Musk, the verb thinks has to be used in a loose sense, to refer to whatever thoughtlike products he brings back from the bottom of a K-hole.

      I’m interpreting your phrasing as you believing that the non-profit “taking over” is somehow good, because profit motive bad presumably. But regardless of incentives, everyone involved is trying to flood the world with slop by incinerating cash and processors on industrial scales.

      But so far the cash incinerator has been running on speculative financial products issued by a club of esoteric computer scientists trying to awaken the robot god. Investors are slightly uncomfortable with this, so Sammy boy is trying to offer them a more traditional vehicle to incinerate their cash (while indulging in his personal profit motive a bit).
