  • No Founding Agreement With Elon Musk, Claims OpenAI |

    San Francisco: Sam Altman-run OpenAI has clarified that they are not in any kind of founding agreement with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, refuting his claim that the ChatGPT maker violated a founding contract with the billionaire.

    In a court filing, the company said that the evidence would show that “Musk supported a for-profit structure for OpenAI, to be controlled by Musk himself, and dropped the project when his wishes were not followed”.

    “Seeing the remarkable technological advances OpenAI has achieved, Musk now wants that success for himself,” the lawsuit read. The company argued that there is no “Founding Agreement, or any agreement at all with Musk, as the complaint itself makes clear”.

    “The Founding Agreement is instead a fiction Musk has conjured to lay unearned claim to the fruits of an enterprise he initially supported, then abandoned, then watched succeed without him,” read the lawsuit.

    OpenAI last week hit back at Musk’s lawsuit, saying as the company discussed a for-profit structure in order to further the mission, “Musk wanted us to merge with Tesla or he wanted full control”.

    In a blog post, the ChatGPT maker alleged that Musk wanted “majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO.” In the middle of these discussions, “he withheld funding”.

  • Elon Musk Sues OpenAI And CEO Sam Altman Over Agreement Breach |

    New Delhi: Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, accusing them of violating their initial contractual agreements concerning artificial intelligence (AI). Filed in a San Francisco court in the United States, the lawsuit centers on OpenAI’s recent development of the GPT-4 natural language model.

    The owner of company X has accused OpenAI and Microsoft of improperly licensing GPT-4. This is despite an agreement that the artificial general intelligence capabilities would be non-profit and aimed at serving humanity.

    “Musk has long recognised that AGI poses a grave threat to humanity — perhaps the greatest existential threat we face today,” read the lawsuit. (Also Read: UK Woman Discovers Baby’s Rare Eye Cancer Using Phone Flash; Read The Full Story)

    In Musk’s lawsuit, he outlines grievances including breach of contract, violation of fiduciary duty, and unfair business practices. Musk served as a founding board member of OpenAI until 2018.

    According to the lawsuit, OpenAI’s initial research was performed in the “open, providing free and public access to designs, models, and code”.

    When OpenAI researchers discovered that an algorithm called “Transformers,” initially invented by Google, could perform many natural language tasks without any explicit training, “entire communities sprung up to enhance and extend the models released by OpenAI”.

    Altman became OpenAI CEO in 2019. On September 22, 2020, OpenAI entered into an agreement with Microsoft, exclusively licensing to Microsoft its Generative PreTrained Transformer (GPT)-3 language model.

    “Most critically, the Microsoft license only applied to OpenAI’s pre-AGI technology. Microsoft obtained no rights to AGI. And it was up to OpenAI’s non-profit Board, not Microsoft, to determine when OpenAI attained AGI,” the lawsuit further read.

    Musk said that this case is filed to compel OpenAI to “adhere to the Founding Agreement and return to its mission to develop AGI for the benefit of humanity, not to personally benefit the individual defendants and the largest technology company in the world”. (With Inputs From IANS)

    The government is reportedly in the process of finalizing a policy to extend concessional import duties on electric cars priced above Rs 30 lakh for 2-3 years.

    Import Duty

    India imposes a 100 percent import duty on cars valued at more than Rs 33 lakh and 60 percent for cars below that threshold. Tesla has shown interest in investing up to $2 billion in India, contingent upon the government reducing the import duty of 15 percent on foreign electric vehicles during the initial years of operation.

  • Elon Musk Plans To Relocate 1 million People To Mars |

    New Delhi: Billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday announced plans to shift one million people to Mars. “We are mapping out a game plan to get a million people to Mars,” Musk wrote in a post on X.com. “Civilisation only passes the single-planet Great Filter when Mars can survive even if Earth supply ships stop coming,” he added.

    He said this in response to a post which said “Starship is the largest rocket ever built and it’ll take us to Mars”. “One day, a trip to Mars will be like a flight across the country,” replied Musk, to users who asked about the launch of Starship to the Red Planet.

    Further, in January, Musk said he hopes that SpaceX will send humans to the Moon within the next eight years. “What will things be like eight years from now…I think we will have landed on Mars and I think we will have sent people to the Moon,” Musk said.

    He also aims to build a base on the Moon. “Humanity should have a moon base, cities on Mars and be out there among the stars,” the X owner said. “We should have a base on the moon, like a permanently occupied human base on the moon, and then send people to Mars. Maybe there’s something beyond the space station, but we’ll see,” he had said in the past.

    Musk also hopes that the third Starship flight test this year will reach orbit and prove the spacecraft can reliably deorbit.
