In Elon Musk and Sam Altmans Ai Groll Match

Elon Muschus Doesn't seem to be beaten. He fought with Tesla against the giants of the auto industry – and won. He questioned the dominance of NASA and the global air and space powers with SpaceX – and it was successful. He even managed to wrestle Twitter, the most incredulous Tech company, and to reorganize it on his own conditions. But somehow it seems that a person has hit Muschus: Sam Altman, The co -founder and current CEO from Openaai.

There have been so many questions in Silicon Valley lately. People wondered how Muschus was going behind Altman when it comes to the consequence of the most consistent technology of our time: artificial intelligence. “I just don't understand, like Musk, who is the richest man in the earth who took over some of the most rooted industries and not only beat them, but also lost their regulatory weapons to Sam Altman,” said an investor from Wall Street recently. “It just doesn't make sense.”

Those who ultimately win can come along the dishes. On Friday, Musk and Openaai proposed to hold a process to assess their dispute over the profit -oriented transition from the above -mentioned company. As Business Insider put it in a heading, “Elon Musk and Sam Altman finally agreed on something.”

In fact, the two men despise each other. Last year Musk Altman publicly attacked as “not trustworthy” and said in an interview: “I don't trust Openaai …[and] Sam Altman. I don't think we want to have the most powerful AI in the world that is controlled by someone who is not trustworthy. “And in February Altman took a public blow back to Musk and said:” I wish he would only start building a better product. ” Altman then added: “I don't think he is a happy person.

The war between Musk and Altman really started in December 2015 when Musk, Altman and a handful of visionaries of the Silicon Valley Openaai started with a bold mission: to ensure Larry side I have entered a debate about robots and AI to take over the earth. The non -profit organization was supported with 1 billion US dollars of donations and swore to open and prioritize the security openly. Musk and Altman, allies, initially warned passionately of the existential dangers of AI and tried to determine a moral compass that could save humanity from himself – or at least his robot -overlords.

“I really trust him,” said Altman Vanity fair At the time when he was asked about work with Musk, who already had many projects in the works. “What Elon said exactly what I thought was ready to swap the additional time for better sleep at night,” recalled Altman. “As soon as he said I was like that, yes.”

Almost immediately, the idealism of the human -saving AI collided with the reality of human ego and money. The advanced AI, as it turns out, is extremely expensive. At that time, Musk worried that Openai after an Openai blog contribution: Take control for itself that Openaai had proposed a drastic solution at the end of 2017. It was not just that Musk wanted to save humanity (although this was the original driving philosophy), but also after e -mails between Musk and other Openai managers, Musk saw the opportunity to integrate Openai into his car company, which could benefit from an advanced AI for his driverless car technology and its own robot ambitions.

But when Musk presented the idea, Altman and other Openai founders pushed back. The disagreement was overhauled in a person who worked at Openaai, “was a screaming match between Sam and Elon in the middle of the Openai offices, which ended that Muschus stormed.” Musk resigned publicly by quoting a conflict of interest with Tesla and, according to the Openas Blog post, Musk wrote in an e -mail: “It seems to me that Openaai burns cash today and the financing model cannot achieve the scale in order to seriously compete with Google.” The former Openai manager I spoke to believed that Musk was distracted with other projects at that time, and thought that Openaai would end as well as Altman's last start-up (it failed) and that would be the end of the story.
