So surprising! New news just came from the U.S.!
Elon Musk continues to escalate his lawsuit against OpenAI, requesting the court to prohibit its transformation into a for-profit company. As one of the founders, Musk's actions are quite unexpected, seemingly similar to Bill Gates' early opposition to software open-sourcing. At that time, Gates was concerned that sharing code for free would undermine Microsoft's competitive advantage. However, in the end, the open-source movement flourished, bringing many successful cases like Linux.
First, is Musk's action perhaps due to concerns that OpenAI, once profit-driven, would become reserved about technology like Microsoft?
Second, on the other hand, if OpenAI does become profitable and has sufficient funds, shouldn't it be able to invest more in research and development, leading to more innovation?
Third, as a founder, Musk surely has his own considerations; perhaps he genuinely believes that OpenAI would change its nature after becoming profit-oriented.
Fourth, actually, open-source and profit are not contradictory; many companies balance both, the key lies in how it's managed.
Fifth, if OpenAI really becomes a for-profit company, will it be able to drive technological progress while maintaining competitiveness, similar to Microsoft?
Sixth, it's hard to say, as each company's situation is different; it depends on how OpenAI chooses its path. However, this lawsuit will certainly have a significant impact on OpenAI's development.
I think, although Musk's actions are unexpected, they are understandable; after all, he is a founder with special feelings and expectations for OpenAI. As for the outcome, it depends on the ruling and how OpenAI chooses to proceed.
Musk has raised 10 dogs, Marvin (7055), and he and his mother have liked posts in the X community over 70 times, showing great affection for Marvin. The community is strong, with enough consensus and activity, currently valued at just over 10 million USD, making it a great time to get involved! #微软比特币投资投票案 #NFT市场回暖 #ETH持续飙升 #ADA、ENA大额解锁 #Marvin
