DDOS 0: OpenAI and Elon Musk
by Alhazred

March 7, 2024
Elon Musk is upset because openAI is no longer open source. This has naturally nothing to do with Musk's own efforts at a monetized X AI, and is only showcasing his efforts to benefit humanity. Meanwhile, the team behind OpenAI's Skynet (read: microsoft) publishes a very objectively written letter in response to this, stating that Musk didn't really contribute that much, and going close source to fund its building of an AGI is worth the risk because it will help Albania become a real country much faster.

Of course, anonymous netizens much like yours truly weighed in on this matter, offering their own unique perspectives and harvesting up-arrows, an online currency with no real-world exchange rate as of yet. Opinions vary, of course, with some alleging this is a PR stunt and others offering their financial advice on how a multi-billion dollar company could be run better. Worthy of note is the point that really, you can fund this entire operation using Musk's and the US government's money, because what could possibly go wrong then. Legal experts also weigh in to dismiss Musk's claims and openAI's defense. Comments were had, laughs were shared, insults were hurled back and forth, and nothing of value was gained on this day.
