Musk and team: "OpenAI was founded as a non-profit, and turning it into a for-profit corporation with shareholders is a betrayal of its founding, and humanity itself."
Altman and team: "Musk is just big mad because he wanted to control OpenAI and we didn't let him."

It's like watching the primary for the 2016 presidential election. The one time trump was able to be largely honest, (Mainly because all of his opponents had hugely obvious horrible things about them that they never would have spoken of, and even the democrats wouldn't have said just because of formalities. Of course he realized very quickly after that bald face lies are actually a lot easier

Sam Altman loves stealing but he made the mistake of stealing from the US government's biggest wealthcare recipient. In this fun courtroom romp enjoy the two shittiest people you'll ever meet duking it out for obscene amounts of money that really ought to have been 100% taxes and would have better spent sending people to the moon to piss in the first moon toilet.

Not one of Open AI's responses address the allegations. Not one.
