What was interesting about the Open AI
00:00:02
restructuring was I read the letter and
00:00:04
your lawsuit was excluded from the
00:00:07
allowances which means that your lawsuit
00:00:09
is still out there, right? And I think
00:00:11
it's going to go to a jury trial.
00:00:12
Yes. There's a mountain of evidence that
00:00:15
shows that OpenAI was created as an open
00:00:17
source nonprofit. That's the exact
00:00:19
description in the incorporation
00:00:21
documents. They've completely violated
00:00:22
that and they try to change the
00:00:24
definition of OpenAI to mean open to
00:00:25
everyone instead of open source, even
00:00:27
though it always meant open source. Mhm.
00:00:28
I came up with the name.
00:00:31
Yeah,
00:00:31
that's how I know.
00:00:33
I mean, essentially since I came up with
00:00:35
the idea for the company, named it,
00:00:37
provided the A, B, and C rounds of
00:00:39
funding, recruited the critical
00:00:40
personnel, and told them everything I
00:00:42
know. If that had been a commercial
00:00:43
corporation, I'd probably own half the
00:00:44
company. It was totally at my
00:00:46
discretion. I could have done that. But
00:00:47
I created as an open source nonprofit
00:00:49
for the world.
00:00:50
Do you think the right thing to do is to
00:00:51
take those models and just open source
00:00:53
them today?
00:00:54
Yeah, I think that is what it was
00:00:56
created to do. So, it should. Whereas
00:00:57
like try using any of the recent
00:00:59
so-called OpenAI open source models.
00:01:01
They don't work. They open sourced a
00:01:02
broken non- workinging version of their
00:01:05
models as a fig leaf. I mean do you know
00:01:06
anyone who's running OpenAI's open
00:01:08
source models?
00:01:09
No. Exactly.
