TLDR (2015-2024): - Elon wanted to stop Demis & Deepmind from creating an AGI dictatorship. - He appointed himself as a CEO. - Greg and Ilya said: but Elon, now can easily become the AGI dictator. - Sam had his own party going, trying to get control, Ilya accused him being driven by money and politics instead of AGI. - Karpathy offered to merge OpenAi into Tesla. Elon liked the idea, others didn’t. - Elon said, let’s merge it with Tesla so that Tesla funds openai and keeps it being non profit. - Sam and Greg decided to find alternative ways to fund the company. - Sam wanted to do an IC0. Elon said it’ll make people think OpenAi is a scam. - They went for Microsoft deal instead. - Elon didn’t like the Microsoft deal and wanted to be the CEO, so he left in 2018 and stopped funding them. - Sam said he is enthusiastic about non profit future and earned CEO title. - Sam turned OpenAI into capped profit - Sam was fired by Ilya for thinking more about monetization than democratization of safe AGi. - Sam was brought back by Satya and Twitter “openai is nothing without its people” - Ilya was fired by Sam - Sam turned openai into for-profit. - Elon started XAI to build his own AgI - Ilya started SSI to build safe AGI - Greg left OpenAI, possibly tried to get into SSI, was rejected and returned back to Sam - But it all doesn’t really matter anymore, since LLMs reached the ceiling of scaling and won’t lead us to the AGI - Sam recently said “I know the worth to AGi now”, which is a fundraising play That’s it. Good night.
