It&#8217;s, you know, the episode of the week. [&#8230;] I think he&#8217;s trying to slow us down. Obviously, [Musk] is our competitor,&#8221; noted the CEO of OpenAI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Altman acknowledged that the billionaire has worked extensively on the AI project xAI and the chatbot <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/elon-musks-startup-to-launch-grok-ios-app\">Grok<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;But I would like him to just compete by creating a good product. But it seems Musk uses many tactics and resorts to lawsuits, and now this. We will just try to ignore such things and continue working.&#8221; <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When asked about the transformation of OpenAI into a commercial company, Altman stated that there are no plans to change direction and emphasized the importance of the non-profit foundation. According to him, the board of directors is considering the next steps for the firm&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<p>The CEO also suggested that Musk, as the journalist put it, &#8220;approaches AI from a position of insecurity.&#8221; <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Perhaps he has been insecure all his life.

It is expected that SoftBank will lead the round with an investment of $15 billion to $25 billion, becoming the largest investor in Sam Altman&#8217;s firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The non-profit organization OpenAI declined a $97.4 billion acquisition offer from a group of investors led by Elon Musk, stating that &#8220;the company and open code are not for sale.&#8221; This was revealed by the CEO of the AI startup, Sam Altman, in an interview with Bloomberg. &#8220;Elon has been trying to pull different things [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"","news_style_id":"","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[438,1217,1190],"class_list":["post-21079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-elon-musk","tag-openai"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"29","promo_type":"","layout_type":"","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21079\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
