OpenAI and Microsoft are reportedly caught up in protracted behind-the-scenes negotiations that are in danger of boiling over into public conflict. Prosecutors say the man accused of assassinating a Minnesota Democratic lawmaker used online data brokers to help target his victims. And, the Trump Organization unveiled a new venture this week: a mobile service and a smartphone. Marketplace's Nova Safo is joined by Natasha Mascarenhas at The Information, who explains why.

Our episode dives into the latest developments in the tech world's most watched legal battle, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. At its heart is Elon Musk's preliminary injunction against OpenAI, its leadership, and Microsoft, revealing a stark contrast between the company's announced $1 billion in funding and the actual $130 million received, with Musk's personal $44 million contribution now at the center of controversy. The story unfolds through remarkable email exchanges, including Sam Altman's 2015 message expressing concerns about AI development and suggesting an alternative to Google's dominance. We explore Musk's visceral reaction to the Microsoft partnership, captured in his words: "This actually made me feel nauseous. It sucks and is exactly what I would expect from them." The tension escalates with the founding team's confrontation of Musk about control issues, documented in their statement: "You stated that you don't want to control the final AGI, but during this negotiation, you've shown to us that absolute control is extremely important to you." The cast of characters in this unfolding drama includes Elon Musk as the plaintiff, Sam Altman as OpenAI's CEO, Greg Brockman serving as president, Reid Hoffman's role as former board member, Dee Templeton's position as Microsoft VP and former board observer, and Shivon Zilis's perspective as a former OpenAI advisor. Their interactions span from OpenAI's nonprofit founding in 2015 through the Microsoft partnership proposal in 2016, internal conflicts in 2017, Musk's departure in 2018, and the introduction of the "capped-profit" structure in 2019, leading to the current legal action in 2024. The financial landscape reveals Microsoft's substantial $13 billion investment for a 49% stake, while OpenAI's annual spending exceeds $5 billion, recently supplemented by a $6.6 billion fundraising round. The legal action seeks to prevent OpenAI from discouraging investors from backing competitors, halt asset transfers to for-profit entities, and stop the sharing of proprietary information with Microsoft. Our analysis draws from U.S. District Court filings, original email correspondence, OpenAI's corporate documents, and Microsoft partnership agreements. This episode sets up our next discussion, where we'll examine the technical implications of the OpenAI-Microsoft partnership and its global impact on AI development. These materials provide crucial context for understanding how corporate governance shapes the future of AI development and industry competition.
This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we discuss Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, which now includes Microsoft, and assess the complexities of the OpenAI-Microsoft partnership, as illustrated by early email exchanges revealed in the lawsuit. We also consider the latest update to the GeekWire 200, our ranked index of Pacific Northwest technology startups, including the rise of Highspot to the top spot, and other trends in the Seattle region's startup ecosystem. And we share highlights from tech events around the region this week, including the WTIA's 40th Anniversary, where Mayor Bruce Harrell addressed AI and the incoming presidential administration; and an interesting takeaway from a panel of startup leaders whose companies made the latest Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list.

Elon Musk Expands Legal Battle Against OpenAI and Microsoft Episode Title: Elon Musk vs. OpenAI & Microsoft: Antitrust Battle and AI Power Struggles Unveiled Episode Description: What started as a complaint over OpenAI's transformation from a nonprofit to a profit-driven powerhouse has escalated into a major antitrust legal battle. Musk is now alleging that Microsoft and OpenAI conspired to monopolize the generative AI market, sidelining competitors and potentially breaching federal antitrust laws. We dive into the history of OpenAI, the internal power struggles, and what this lawsuit could mean for the future of artificial intelligence. Key Topics Discussed: The Lawsuit's Expansion: We explore how Musk's original August complaint has evolved, now including new claims against Microsoft for allegedly colluding with OpenAI to dominate the AI market. We break down the legal arguments and what Musk is seeking from the court. OpenAI's Controversial Transformation: Originally founded as a nonprofit, OpenAI shifted gears in 2019, attracting billions in investment from Microsoft. We discuss how this change in business model became a point of contention for Musk and set the stage for the current legal conflict. Behind-the-Scenes Drama: Newly revealed emails between Musk, Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, and other OpenAI co-founders offer a rare glimpse into the early days of OpenAI. We dive into the disagreements over leadership, Musk's quest for control, and the internal debates about the company's mission. Microsoft's Role and Investment: Microsoft's billion-dollar partnership with OpenAI is at the heart of Musk's complaint. We examine the timeline of this collaboration, the exclusive licensing agreements, and why Musk views this as an anticompetitive move. Musk's Fear of an 'AGI Dictatorship': Emails from as early as 2016 show Musk's concerns about Google's DeepMind and its potential to dominate the AI space. We discuss Musk's fears of a single company controlling AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and how these concerns influenced the founding of OpenAI. Intel's Missed Opportunity: We touch on Intel's decision to pass on a $1 billion investment in OpenAI back in 2017, a move that now appears shortsighted given OpenAI's current valuation and market influence. The Legal Stakes and Future Implications: What could this lawsuit mean for the future of AI development and industry partnerships? We break down the potential consequences for OpenAI, Microsoft, and the broader tech landscape. Featured Quotes: Marc Toberoff (Musk's attorney): “Microsoft's anticompetitive practices have escalated. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” Elon Musk (internal email): “DeepMind is causing me extreme mental stress. If they win, it will be really bad news with their one mind to rule the world philosophy.” Why It Matters: This case isn't just about corporate rivalry; it's about the future control of artificial intelligence and the ethical concerns surrounding its development. As the AI race intensifies, Musk's lawsuit raises questions about monopolistic practices, transparency, and the potential consequences of unchecked power in the tech industry. Tune In To Learn: Why Musk believes Microsoft and OpenAI's partnership is illegal and anticompetitive. How internal power struggles shaped the trajectory of OpenAI and influenced Musk's departure. What the disclosed emails reveal about the early vision for OpenAI and the concerns about AGI dominance. Resources Mentioned: Musk's original lawsuit filing (August 2023) OpenAI's response to the amended complaint Email exchanges between OpenAI co-founders (2015-2018)

OpenAI-tegenhanger Anthropic wil miljarden aan investeringen ophalen tegen een waardering van 40 miljard dollar. Joe van Burik vertelt erover in deze Tech Update. Anthropic is bekend van de AI-modellen genaamd Claude, en is daarmee de tegenhanger van ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. Vooral Amazon heeft al veel geïnvesteerd in Anthropic, zo'n 4 miljard dollar tot nu toe. Daartegenover staat dat in OpenAI Microsoft alleen al ruim 13 miljard dollar heeft zitten, en bij dat betreft wordt al bijna een jaar gewerkt aan nieuwe investeringsronde van 6,5 miljard dollar, tegen een waardering van 150 miljard. Bij Anthropic wordtnu ook geld opgehaald, schrijft tech-onderzoekssite The Information, dat sprak één van de investeerders die juist wil uitstappen. Een nieuwe investeringronde moet daar gaan zorgen voor een valuering van 40 miljard dollar. Flink minder dan OpenAI, maar toch een significant bedrag op zichzelf natuurlijk. En het kan nog flink toenemen, want de gesprekken zouden nog in een vroeg stadium zijn.

The latest episode of The Eric Ries Show features my conversation with Reid Hoffman. Executive Vice President of PayPal, co-founder of LinkedIn, and legendary investor at Greylock Partners are just a few of his official roles that have changed our world. He's also been a mentor to countless founders of iconic companies like Airbnb, Facebook, and OpenAI. He's an author, a podcast host – both Masters of Scale and his new show, Possible, with Aria Finger – and perhaps most importantly a crucial steward of AI, including co-founding Inflection AI, a Public Benefit Corporation, in 2022. Reid has also long been a voice of moral clarity and a stabilizing influence on the tech ecosystem, supporting people who are working to make the world a better place at every level. He's a firm believer that “the way that we express ourselves over time is by being citizens of the polis – tribal members.” That includes not just supporting the legal system and democratic process but also building organizations “from the founding and through scaling and ongoing iteration to have a functional and healthy society.” We talked about all of this, as well as AI, from multiple angles – including the story of how he came to broker the first meeting between Sam Altman and Satya Nadella that led to the OpenAI-Microsoft partnership. He also had a lot to say about how AI will work as a meta-tool for all the other tools we use. We are, as he said,” homo techne,” – meaning we evolve through the technology we make. We also broke down his famous saying that “entrepreneurship is like jumping off a cliff and assembling the plane on the way down” and: • The human tendency to form groups • The relationship between doing good for people and profits • AI as a meta-tool • What he looks for in a leader • The necessity of evolving culture • Being willing to take public positions • His thoughts on the economy and the upcoming election — Brought to you by: Mercury – The art of simplified finances.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Analogies between scaling labs and misaligned superintelligent AI, published by Stephen Casper on February 21, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. TL;DR: Scaling labs have their own alignment problem analogous to AI systems, and there are some similarities between the labs and misaligned/unsafe AI. Introduction Major AI scaling labs (OpenAI/Microsoft, Anthropic, Google/DeepMind, and Meta) are very influential in the AI safety and alignment community. They put out cutting-edge research because of their talent, money, and institutional knowledge. A significant subset of the community works for one of these labs. This level of influence is beneficial in some aspects. In many ways, these labs have strong safety cultures, and these values are present in their high-level approaches to developing AI - it's easy to imagine a world in which things are much worse. But the amount of influence that these labs have is also something to be cautious about. The alignment community is defined by a concern that subtle misalignment between the incentives that we give AI systems and what we actually want from them might cause these systems to dangerously pursue the wrong goals. This post considers an analogous and somewhat ironic alignment problem: between human interests and the scaling labs. These labs have intelligence, resources, and speed well beyond that of any single human. Their amount of money, compute, talent, and know-how make them extremely capable. Given this, it's important that they are aligned with the interests of humanity. However, there are some analogies between scaling labs and misaligned AI. It is important not to draw false equivalences between different labs. For example, it seems that by almost every standard, Anthropic prioritizes safety and responsibility much more than other labs. But in this post, I will generally be lumping them together except to point out a few lab-specific observations. Misaligned Incentives In much the same way that AI systems may have perverse incentives, so do the labs. They are companies. They need to make money, court investors, make products, and attract users. Anthropic and Microsoft even just had Super Bowl ads. This type of accountability to commercial interests is not perfectly in line with doing what is good for human interests. Moreover, the labs are full of technocrats whose values and demographics do not represent humanity particularly well. Optimizing for the goals that the labs have is not the same thing as optimizing for human welfare. Goodhart's Law applies. Power Seeking One major risk factor of misaligned superintelligent AI systems is that they may pursue power and influence. But the same is true of the scaling labs. Each is valued in the billions of dollars due to its assets and investments. They compete with each other for technical primacy. The labs also pursue instrumental goals, including political influence with lobbying and strategic secrecy to reduce the risk of lawsuits involving data and fair use. Recent news that Sam Altman is potentially pursuing trillions in funding for hardware suggests that this type of power-seeking may reach large scales in the near future. To stay competitive, labs need to keep scaling, and when one lab scales, others are driven to do so as well in an arms race. Lack of Transparency Trust without transparency is misguided. We want AI systems that are honest white boxes that are easy to interpret and understand. However, the scaling labs do not meet this standard. They tend to be highly selective in what they publicize, have employees sign non-disclosure agreements, and generally lack transparency or accountability to the public. Instead of being white boxes, the labs are more like dark grey boxes that seem to rarely choose to reveal things that would make them look bad. A lack of explan...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: NYT is suing OpenAI&Microsoft for alleged copyright infringement; some quick thoughts, published by Mikhail Samin on December 28, 2023 on LessWrong. Unpaywalled article, the lawsuit. (I don't have a law degree, this is not legal advice, my background is going through a US copyright law course many years ago.) I've read most of the lawsuit and skimmed through the rest, some quick thoughts on the allegations: Memorisation: when ChatGPT outputs text that closely copies original NYT content, this is clearly a copyright infringement. I think it's clear that OpenAI & Microsoft should be paying everyone whose work their LLMs reproduce. Training: it's not clear to me whether training LLMs on copyrighted content is a copyright infringement under the current US copyright law. I think lawmakers should introduce regulations to make it an infringement, but I wouldn't think the courts should consider it to be an infringement under the current laws (although I might not be familiar with all relevant case law). Summarising news articles found on the internet: copyright protects expression, not facts (if you read about something in a NYT article, the knowledge you received isn't protected by copyright, and you're free to share the knowledge); I think that if an LLM summarises text it has lawful access to, this doesn't violate copyright if it just talks about the same facts, or might be fair use. NYT alleges damage from Bing that Wikipedia also causes by citing facts and linking the source. I think to the extent LLMs don't preserve the wording/the creative structure, copyright doesn't provide protection; and some preservation of the structure might be fair use. Hallucinations: ChatGPT hallucinating false info and attributing it to NYT is outside copyright law, but seems bad and damaging. I'm not sure what the existing law around that sort of stuff is, but I think even if it's not covered by the existing law, it'd be great to see regulations making AI companies liable for all sorts of damage from their products, including attributing statements to people who've never made them.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on New York Times OpenAI.
It's the last and probably longest Cyberlaw Podcast episode of 2023. To lead off, Megan Stifel takes us through a batch of stories about ways that AI, and especially AI trust and safety, manage to look remarkably fallible. Anthropic released a paper showing that race, gender, and age discrimination by AI models was real but could be dramatically reduced by instructing The Model to “really, really, really” avoid such discrimination. (Buried in the paper was the fact that the original, severe AI bias disfavored older white men, as did the residual bias that asking nicely didn't eliminate.) Bottom line from Anthropic seems to be, “Our technology is a really cool toy, but don't use if for anything that matters.”) In keeping with that theme, Google's highly touted OpenAI competitor Gemini was release to mixed reviews when the model couldn't correctly identify recent Oscar winners or a French word with six letters (it offered “amour”). The good news was for people who hate AI's ham-handed political correctness; it turns out you can ask another AI model how to jailbreak your model, a request that can make the task go 25 times faster. This could be the week that determines the fate of FISA section 702, David Kris reports. It looks as though two bills will go to the House floor, and only one will survive. Judiciary's bill is a grudging renewal of 702 for a mere three years, full of procedures designed to cripple the program. The intelligence committee's bill beats the FBI around the head and shoulders but preserves the core of 702. David and I explore the “queen of the hill” procedure that will allow members to vote for either bill, both, or none, and will send to the Senate the version that gets the most votes. Gus Hurwitz looks at the FTC's last-ditch appeal to stop the Microsoft-Activision merger. The best case, he suspects, is that the appeal will be rejected without actually repudiating the pet theories of the FTC's hipster antitrust lawyers. Megan and I examine the latest HHS proposal to impose new cybersecurity requirements on hospitals. David, meanwhile, looks for possible motivations behind the FBI's procedures for companies who want help in delaying SEC cyber incident disclosures. Then Megan and I consider the tough new UK rules for establishing the age of online porn consumers. I think they'll hurt Pornhub's litigation campaign against states trying to regulate children's access to porn sites. The race to 5G is over, Gus notes, and it looks like even the winners lost. Faced with the threat of Chinese 5G domination and an industry sure that 5G was the key to the future, many companies and countries devoted massive investments to the technology, but it's now widely deployed and no one sees much benefit. There is more than one lesson here for industrial policy and the unpredictable way technologies disseminate. 23andme gets some time in the barrel, with Megan and I both dissing its “lawyerly” response to a history of data breaches – namely changing its terms of service it harder for customers to sue for data breaches. Gus reminds us that the Biden FCC only took office in that last month or two, and it is determined to catch up with the FTC in advancing foolish and doomed regulatory initiatives. This week's example, remarkably, isn't net neutrality. It's worse. The Commission is building a sweeping regulatory structure on an obscure section of the 2021 infrastructure act that calls for the FCC to “facilitate equal access to broadband internet access service...”: Think we're hyperventilating?

It's the last and probably longest Cyberlaw Podcast episode of 2023. To lead off, Megan Stifel takes us through a batch of stories about ways that AI, and especially AI trust and safety, manage to look remarkably fallible. Anthropic released a paper showing that race, gender, and age discrimination by AI models was real but could be dramatically reduced by instructing The Model to “really, really, really” avoid such discrimination. (Buried in the paper was the fact that the original, severe AI bias disfavored older white men, as did the residual bias that asking nicely didn't eliminate.) Bottom line from Anthropic seems to be, “Our technology is a really cool toy, but don't use if for anything that matters.”) In keeping with that theme, Google's highly touted OpenAI competitor Gemini was release to mixed reviews when the model couldn't correctly identify recent Oscar winners or a French word with six letters (it offered “amour”). The good news was for people who hate AI's ham-handed political correctness; it turns out you can ask another AI model how to jailbreak your model, a request that can make the task go 25 times faster. This could be the week that determines the fate of FISA section 702, David Kris reports. It looks as though two bills will go to the House floor, and only one will survive. Judiciary's bill is a grudging renewal of 702 for a mere three years, full of procedures designed to cripple the program. The intelligence committee's bill beats the FBI around the head and shoulders but preserves the core of 702. David and I explore the “queen of the hill” procedure that will allow members to vote for either bill, both, or none, and will send to the Senate the version that gets the most votes. Gus Hurwitz looks at the FTC's last-ditch appeal to stop the Microsoft-Activision merger. The best case, he suspects, is that the appeal will be rejected without actually repudiating the pet theories of the FTC's hipster antitrust lawyers. Megan and I examine the latest HHS proposal to impose new cybersecurity requirements on hospitals. David, meanwhile, looks for possible motivations behind the FBI's procedures for companies who want help in delaying SEC cyber incident disclosures. Then Megan and I consider the tough new UK rules for establishing the age of online porn consumers. I think they'll hurt Pornhub's litigation campaign against states trying to regulate children's access to porn sites. The race to 5G is over, Gus notes, and it looks like even the winners lost. Faced with the threat of Chinese 5G domination and an industry sure that 5G was the key to the future, many companies and countries devoted massive investments to the technology, but it's now widely deployed and no one sees much benefit. There is more than one lesson here for industrial policy and the unpredictable way technologies disseminate. 23andme gets some time in the barrel, with Megan and I both dissing its “lawyerly” response to a history of data breaches – namely changing its terms of service it harder for customers to sue for data breaches. Gus reminds us that the Biden FCC only took office in that last month or two, and it is determined to catch up with the FTC in advancing foolish and doomed regulatory initiatives. This week's example, remarkably, isn't net neutrality. It's worse. The Commission is building a sweeping regulatory structure on an obscure section of the 2021 infrastructure act that calls for the FCC to “facilitate equal access to broadband internet access service...”: Think we're hyperventilating?
