Elon Musk It does not seem to be a person who can hit. He fought the automotive giants with Tesla – and won. NASA’s dominance and global space forces have challenged Spacex – and succeeded. He even managed to wrestle Twitter, the most urgent technology company, and reshape it on its own terms. But somehow, it seems that one person may strike musk: Sam Al -Taman, The current founder and CEO of Openai.
There have been many questions about Silicon Valley recently, with people wondering how Musk runs behind Altman when it comes to the most dependent technology of our time: artificial intelligence. “I just don’t understand how Musk, the richest man on the face of the earth, who took some of the most firm industries and not only defeated them, but also their organizational arms, too, lost it in front of Sam Al -Tamman,” one of the Wall Street investor recently told me. “It is meaningless.”
Whoever finally wins the courts. On Friday, Musk and Openai jointly suggested a trial to eliminate their dispute over the transmission of the aforementioned company. As business from the inside Put it In the title, “Elon Musk and Sam Altman finally agreed on something.”
In fact, the two men despise each other. Last year, musk publicly Attach As “unprecedented”, saying in an interview, “I do not trust Openai …[and] Sam Taman. I don’t think we want to have the most powerful Amnesty International in the world, which is controlled by an indisputable person. In February, Altman took General criticism Again in Musk, saying: “I hope it only competes by building a better product.” Then Al -Taman added: “Perhaps his entire life is from the position of insecurity. I feel a man … I don’t think, like a happy person.”
The war between Musk and Altman really started in December 2015, when Musk and Altman and a handful of the Silicon Valley Openai’s visions were launched with a bold mission: to ensure that human artificial intelligence benefits, instead of destroying humanity – an idea that started largely after Musk and Larry Beige Entered About robots and AI that compete to seize the ground, something was something that had everything, and thank God that Musk was a lot. Backed A billion dollars in donationsThe non -profit organizations pledged to exchange research publicly and set safety priorities. Musk and Altman, the allies initially, warned with enthusiasm of the existential risk of AI and sought to place an ethical compass that could save humanity from itself – or at least from its robot.
“I really trust him,” I told Al -Taman Vanity Fair At that time when asked about work with Musk, who had already had a lot of projects in business. “The thing that Elon said, which is exactly what I was thinking about, too, is that he was ready to exchanging extra time better at night,” German remembers. “Once I said I was like, yes. I feel this way.”
Almost immediately, it represents the ideal artificial intelligence to provide humanity with the reality of human vanity and money. It turns out that advanced artificial intelligence is Expensive. At that time, Musa was concerned that Openai behind Google was succeeded, and suggested intensity The solution in late 2017, according to OpenaiControl of himself. It was not just that Musk wanted to save humanity (although this is the philosophy of the original leadership), but according to Email messages between Musk and other Openai executives have witnessed the ability to integrate Openai into its car company, which can benefit from some advanced artificial intelligence of car technology without a driver and its automatic ambitions.
But when Musk presented the idea of Altman and other Openai founders they pushed back. The dispute was homogeneous, while one person who worked in Openai told me, “a screaming match between Sam and Elon was in the middle of Openai’s offices that ended in storming musk.” Publicly, musk resigned by referring to conflicts in interests with Tesla, and according to Openai BlogMusk wrote in an email, “It seems to me that Openai today burns money and that the financing model cannot reach the scale to compete seriously with Google.” The former CEO of Openai, with whom she spoke, believed that Musk had paid his attention from other projects at that time, and Openai would have ended in the same way that the last Altman company (failure) and this will be the end of the story.
