The fact that Sam Altman started by saying “I don’t know what it’s really about” when asked about why Elon is suing OpenAi tells me everything I need to know about him.

I didnt know who Sam Altman was before the OpenAi firing started, but since then I’ve been trying find out more about him and ever since I saw him speak, I’ve always felt uneasy about him and this video right here, confirms everything.

Ilyah fired him right??…

[exhibitD]

It's not free. It's user testing that the users (us) are not being paid for.

[rvmohr]

His body language & eyes say liar.

[cardiderek]

Lex is painfully naive. He want's them to "be friends this month"?? Does he think that everyone just floats around and loves each other for suing like (he believes) other people love him so much? I don't get this guy at all.

[avgroupltd]

Why do all hypocrites wear sweaters? Is it the sweater that makes you think he is innocent? This guy knows 100% of what he is doing....I have zero empathy for a guy who 'needs' $7 trillion dollars.

[Kelvostrass]

Is this supposed to convince me to support OpenAI? Because it's not working.

[MrDragonorp]

bruh openai transformed fro non profit to insane profit, thats insane. and super ilegal

[thecountoftuscany]

"Elon only open sourced grok after he received pushback, therefore it's hypocritical".

No that's not hypocritical, that's responding to criticism and improving yourself. Plus X is a private company, not a charity.

Openai has been criticized for years of being hypocritical, but they didn't change! So Openai is obviously worse. Horrible analogy.

[sobadaham]

Should ask him about the super shady people in the new board of Directors.

[hungryformusik]

I‘ve seen the lawsuit and I think the main reason is that AGI is a threat humanity when big companies like Microsoft are involved. That is the whole point, which is not discussed here.

[jakesiu]

According to Elon...

MSFT + OpenAI = bad
TSLR + OpenAI = good

Open source my ass...its all about money and power.

[abritandhisbikeinpoland]

This man to me is nothing more than a James Bond villian, the only thing missing here is a white cat with a diamond colar! If ever there was a time we needed Bond to save humanity I think this is it!

[smokinjoe]

I'm not understanding all the Altman hate in this post. Do you actually believe Elon is suing him for the benefit of humanity? Elon is for himself and no one else.

[exhibitD]

When someone appeals to the virtues in others not meeting their expectations... It's telling.

[CoachJJ]

Stop giving this guy leads to excuses…let him speak, and leave FAR more quiet space for his own vernacular to come out fully!

[yourfriend]

I think what Sam is trying to say is that Elon basicalky wanted to benefit from OpenAI for himself and Tesla which overall is just himself and not basically for humanity which would mean that he stopped donating to force OpenAI to do it and if that is true then they(OpenAI) are the good guys.
I like Elon too but i think people are more bias towards Elon and because Sam has a small fandom he is likely to get crushed by the fans of Elon but the way i see it Elon is not the good guy here and neither are openAI the bad guys

[clam_baked]

“I would heavily discourage any start up that was thinking about starting as a nonprofit and adding a for-profit arm later.” …that lawsuit isn’t gonna go well for him…

[ConnoisseurOfExistence]

Cool video. I don't think OpenAI should just win though. It's not right to turn a company 180 degrees, no matter what.

[lightcraftnexus]

Elon stands with principles, and is literally creating a social media platform that aligns with liberty and freedom amidst massive controversy worldwide. The founding fathers would be proud.

That's why he left - from everything I have heard. OpenAI started to go against the principles that align with the philosophy of liberty (open-source, objective based, truth optimizing).
