00:00:00
Elon Musk is suing open Ai and its CEO
00:00:02
Sam mman saying they abandoned the
00:00:03
company's original Mission to develop AI
00:00:05
for the benefit of humanity and not for
00:00:07
profit in the lawsuit musk accuses opena
00:00:09
and Alman of being in breach of contract
00:00:11
and violating fiduciary duty and asks
00:00:14
that opena be required to open up its
00:00:16
technology to others Opia is pushing
00:00:18
back against musk in the lawsuit and an
00:00:19
internal memo to employees Chief
00:00:21
strategy Officer Jason Quan who I happen
00:00:23
to know writing we believe the claims in
00:00:26
the suit may stem from elon's regrets at
00:00:28
not being involved with company today I
00:00:30
think that essentially translate to what
00:00:32
a loser I think I believe that's their
00:00:34
attitude there at opena in fact I know
00:00:35
it is um first of all as I said on X for
00:00:38
those not a lawyer my summary tough
00:00:40
toenails AI Karen ven note kosla who's
00:00:43
an investor in opena posted about the
00:00:44
suit saying it feels like a bit of sour
00:00:46
grapes um most lawyers that have written
00:00:49
about it says there's no merit it's not
00:00:51
a contract this was not a contract and
00:00:53
and it's just a lot of grievance by Elon
00:00:56
Musk most contract lawyers think it's
00:00:58
not but Elon always said you know does a
00:01:00
pitch over the over the plate and an
00:01:02
attempt lawsuits are his thing are his
00:01:04
love language um what do you think about
00:01:06
uh the the lawsuit Scott I had coffee
00:01:09
with Ted Sandos a few weeks ago by the
00:01:12
way a lovely guy and about 12 years ago
00:01:17
I bought what was for me a lot of stock
00:01:20
of Netflix I think 12 bucks a share and
00:01:23
it fell to 10 in December so I sold it
00:01:25
to take the tax loss and I never bought
00:01:27
back in and now what is it at 500
00:01:30
and I remember sitting there as I was
00:01:32
talking to Ted thinking as lovely as he
00:01:33
is if I owned a [ __ ] ton of shares right
00:01:36
now I would like him so much
00:01:39
more and but here's the thing I'm not
00:01:42
going to sue the company because I
00:01:44
[ __ ] up and made a bad decision and
00:01:46
lost a lot of money and power and that's
00:01:49
all this is there is no agreement
00:01:52
stating between them and Elon Musk
00:01:55
stating how they would operate the
00:01:56
company he left the company these were
00:01:59
his decisions he tried to take over and
00:02:01
then was rebuffed and left but go ahead
00:02:03
this is literally a a a child stamping
00:02:07
his or her feet because they quit the
00:02:09
team and then the team goes on to the
00:02:10
national finals and so they get Daddy
00:02:13
they sue the team yeah I mean there's
00:02:15
this is legally laughable except for the
00:02:18
part when you have a
00:02:19
billionaire when you have a billionaire
00:02:22
with armies of lawyers he will harass
00:02:25
them and he will make their lives more
00:02:27
difficult this makes this make this
00:02:29
slows down Commerce it slows down
00:02:31
Innovation and it is it is literally
00:02:33
harassment by litigation there is no
00:02:36
legal Merit here there is no business
00:02:38
principle here it is it is a guy going
00:02:41
wait I control space I sort of control
00:02:43
Eves I can't believe I [ __ ] up and I
00:02:46
don't control AI I know I'll sue them
00:02:48
yeah yeah is there anything bad about
00:02:50
it's interesting I've talked to people
00:02:51
there and they're this is the I mean
00:02:53
they wanted that memo out there
00:02:54
obviously the node's been very
00:02:56
aggressive and very like [ __ ] this guy
00:02:59
essentially
00:03:00
um and you know I think they're
00:03:02
basically he's just he's just feels like
00:03:04
a loser and he's not the cool kid he's
00:03:06
not the cool kid in Ai and he was there
00:03:08
early that's for sure for hundred I was
00:03:11
he talked about it extensively 10 years
00:03:13
ago but he definitely got made a power
00:03:16
play as he is want to do this is one of
00:03:18
his moves at every company he's been at
00:03:19
he always makes a power play and either
00:03:21
gets rebuffed or he wins um often gets
00:03:24
rebuffed his early companies he
00:03:25
certainly did and this is what he did
00:03:27
here and he didn't win and he's trying
00:03:29
you know put light onto he's backing the
00:03:32
people who were against Sam Alman he's
00:03:34
been backing them a lot of people feel
00:03:35
he was involved in the in the attacks on
00:03:38
Sam for sure um I wouldn't I wouldn't
00:03:41
put it past him um and and that uh and
00:03:45
that he's just mad about it you know
00:03:46
he's just wants to be in it and his
00:03:48
grock is not doing as well although he
00:03:50
has tons of he has tons of chance with
00:03:52
Twitter I guess um but it regrets
00:03:56
regrets is a nice way of saying you're a
00:03:57
loser um I think in the in the thing
00:03:59
thing but does it does is it bad for
00:04:01
open AA even if it doesn't go to trial I
00:04:03
mean he's being pushed back in his other
00:04:05
trials um uh there could be some inner
00:04:08
workings revealed in the discovery thing
00:04:11
and of course Microsoft partnership um
00:04:14
you know there's proprietary technology
00:04:16
here is there any risk at
00:04:18
all sure there's it I mean you have a
00:04:22
company that's trying to move a million
00:04:23
miles an hour that has a ton of
00:04:25
different considerations while they
00:04:27
think about effects on Humanity managing
00:04:29
High Growth Company track I mean this is
00:04:32
Sam Alman has a difficult job and all
00:04:35
this does is it says okay I have no
00:04:38
justification I'm just going to distract
00:04:41
you and make things harder for you so it
00:04:43
absolutely damages open Ai and and
00:04:47
judges if they do their job will dismiss
00:04:50
this type of lawsuit quickly to say you
00:04:52
are getting in the way of Commerce and
00:04:53
there's no legal basis here yeah I don't
00:04:56
you know and generally what I find
00:04:59
generally what I find is that very
00:05:01
wealthy people recognize their power and
00:05:05
if they have character and I I I've
00:05:07
never bought the Trope the senator
00:05:09
Warren or the populist Trope that rich
00:05:11
people are inherently evil I've actually
00:05:13
found in general very wealthy people get
00:05:15
there because they have High character
00:05:16
and they establish allies along the way
00:05:18
like regular people and they're measured
00:05:21
around litigation or somewhat measured
00:05:23
they don't they don't go out of their
00:05:25
way to sue people because they realize
00:05:27
they have more money this guy sees
00:05:30
litigation as a means of trying to True
00:05:32
up the world to his standard standard
00:05:34
ises that s who does that sound like his
00:05:37
standard is I should control the world
00:05:39
and let me let's just ask a global
00:05:41
question
00:05:42
here are we better off we're better off
00:05:46
for Elon Musk I still believe that he's
00:05:48
been a Pioneer around EVS what he's
00:05:50
doing in space I don't think you'd want
00:05:51
to press a button and have him disappear
00:05:53
or have him move to another country but
00:05:56
might it be a better idea to have him
00:05:58
doing his thing and a guy like Sam Alman
00:06:00
who thus far strikes me as very
00:06:02
thoughtful controlling the the most
00:06:04
important company in AR or would we want
00:06:06
Elon mus to control it yeah there's he's
00:06:09
trying to [ __ ] with them that's all he's
00:06:11
doing and and it'll work they already
00:06:13
are we're already talking about it some
00:06:15
some embarrassing things might come out
00:06:17
and not only that he's Pro Sam Alman and
00:06:19
key principles to this company and key
00:06:21
funders are probably a going to have to
00:06:24
spend time in court or give depositions
00:06:26
and also they're going to have to be
00:06:28
very careful about anything they do or
00:06:31
say it'll pull back their risk
00:06:34
aggressiveness which is which is part of
00:06:36
being an entrepreneur and growing a a
00:06:38
business this is just it's bad for the
00:06:40
economy it's it's bad for business it
00:06:42
sets the wrong precedent for other
00:06:44
people it's I mean it's just it really
00:06:47
is this is what Trump does too the
00:06:49
lawsuits the grieve Eng grieved lawsuits
00:06:51
it's it's it's a it's a thing he's
00:06:53
moving so there was a good article in
00:06:54
the times about how close by David
00:06:56
French about how close Elon and Trump
00:06:58
are to magga like this idea of agreement
00:07:00
and lawsuits and anger and this and that
00:07:03
it was interesting I it's just he's such
00:07:05
a loser I unfortunately I think this
00:07:06
type of this type of aggressive
00:07:09
litigation is effective in the sense
00:07:11
that it just places a chill over society
00:07:13
and business yeah he likes to do it you
00:07:15
know I'd rather I mean it's just
00:07:18
everybody right when billionaire it
00:07:20
started with Peter teal deciding to put
00:07:23
a media company out of business because
00:07:24
he had a ton of money this kind of stuff
00:07:27
puts a chill on journalists it puts a
00:07:29
chill on investors it puts a chill on
00:07:32
CEOs I mean it it it's just not it's
00:07:36
it's not the
00:07:37
way I I don't know how you although I
00:07:39
have noticed more people pushing back
00:07:42
open a pushed back really hard I I Alex
00:07:45
Stamos is doing one of my interviews in
00:07:47
San FR in Seattle and he wasn't talk he
00:07:50
wasn't talking publicly before you know
00:07:52
what I mean because he they have the
00:07:53
lawsuit by Elon Elon goes around suing
00:07:56
everybody like to try to shut them up
00:07:58
and I think people are like like [ __ ]
00:07:59
you like essentially but still it causes
00:08:02
money it's expensive it it uh it creates
00:08:05
all kinds of like issues two two-thirds
00:08:08
of jobs are created by small and
00:08:09
medium-sized businesses MH if you're say
00:08:13
he just starts and I think he's already
00:08:14
done this say he just any competitor
00:08:17
first off he called for an AI pause
00:08:19
publicly because supp he's concerned
00:08:20
about the fate of the world and it comes
00:08:22
out he was trying to catch up that he
00:08:24
was going full force with his own AI
00:08:26
efforts and had no interest in pausing
00:08:28
but if if big companies just start suing
00:08:31
and to be clear big Tech is guilty of
00:08:34
this they just start suing small
00:08:37
companies left and right they can put
00:08:38
them out of business it's really
00:08:40
propulsive the small company can't it's
00:08:43
difficult for the small company to wait
00:08:44
around for the Judgment it's difficult
00:08:47
for them to recruit employees do you
00:08:48
know what it's like to raise money under
00:08:50
the ospice of a of a of a lawsuit filed
00:08:54
by Elon Musk or quite frankly a lot of
00:08:57
these companies including some of our
00:08:59
favorites Apple Amazon are very quick to
00:09:03
send cease and toist letters when I left
00:09:05
my last company I wanted to start
00:09:08
another company they immediately started
00:09:10
sending me letters and I'm like okay I
00:09:13
want to work I'm not going to compete
00:09:16
with you but I'd like to work and in
00:09:18
their view it was unless you sit around
00:09:21
and do nothing for the rest of your life
00:09:24
in our view you're competing with us
00:09:26
that's how it came across to me and
00:09:28
we're going to hire this really angry
00:09:31
mean law firm and the only reason they
00:09:34
back down is cuz I'm rich yeah and they
00:09:37
know I can defend myself yeah but what
00:09:39
if it was TW 10 years ago or 20 years
00:09:42
ago when I didn't have the money and I
00:09:43
was trying to start companies I would
00:09:44
have I wouldn't have been able to raise
00:09:46
money I I would have just backed down
00:09:48
from this big bad Corporation who had
00:09:52
absolutely no legal Merit none
00:09:55
whatsoever every lawyer I talked to said
00:09:57
yeah you're going to win this but it's
00:09:58
going to cost you a bunch of money what
00:09:59
if I didn't have a bunch of money yeah
00:10:02
it's a it's a nuisance it's a nuisance
00:10:04
lawsuit anyway Elon get some
00:10:10
therapy
