Woe be upon any of Musks long held enemies.
OpenAI is a giant furnace that burns money and electricity.
OpenAI crows abouthow many users it has, but most of those users just cost it money.
Most users dont pay the subscription fee for ChatGPT.
But every little search they do or picture they generate burns cash.
OpenAI is set to lose $5 billion this year.
Where is the cash and computing power coming from to fuel OpenAI?
Mostly Microsoft and theres early indications that the tech giant is done with OpenAIs shit.
OpenAI is aweird company.
It has a non-profit board that controls a for-profit company.
Its explicit goal is to build an artificial general intelligence.
He burned effigies of demonic anti-human AI in the office and led workers in ritualistic chants.
At the end of last year, Microsoft was spooked after the boardled by Sutskeverousted Altman.
Altman came back, but the damage was done.
Over the past year the relationship between OpenAI and Microsofthas frayed.
Whats OpenAI doing to get in on this?
Itpartneredwith government contractor Carahsoft to sell ChatGPT licenses to the government.
We dont know what role Musk will play in the future Trump administration.
But we do know Musk hates Altman.
The feud is legendary.
I am the reason OpenAI exists, Musksaid in an interview with CNBCin May 2023.
Musk was an original investor in the company back in 2015 but fell out with the company.
The lawsuits have called out Altman by name.
In response, OpenAIpublished emailsbetween it and Musk that revealed what it said was the truth of the matter.
That was back at the beginning of the first Trump administration.
Now were about to start the second and Musk is in good with the President-elect.
Altman scraped and bowed, of course.
Congrats to President Trump.
I wish for his huge success in the job, hesaid in a post on X.
It is critically important that the US maintains its lead in developing AI with democratic values.
Altman should probably bow and scrape to Musk.
Hes number one on Bloombergs list of the 500 richest billionaires.
Altman doesnt even make the list.
