That happened after they decided not to release the model.


So their goal was to become the next IBM Watson? Parade around tech and try to create hype and hope for the future around it, while hiding all the dirty secrets that shows how limited the technology really is. Their original reasoning for not releasing it "this model is too dangerous to be released to the public" felt very much like a marketing stunt.


It does feel like the Tesla FSD playbook citing "pending regulatory approval"


Well, the decision not to release the model might have been made so that they could license it instead.


They gave a reason why they didn't release it to the public, they said it was too dangerous: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/14/elon-musk...

But of course then they started selling it to the highest bidder, so I wouldn't really trust what they say. They aren't "OpenAI", at this point they are just regular "ProprietaryAI". I really wonder what goal Elon Musk have with it.


Didn’t Musk leave the organization because they started doing things he didn’t like?


His stated reason for leaving the board was potential future conflicts with things Tesla are working on.


> I really wonder what goal Elon Musk have with it.

You mean Sam Altman? Isn't he the CEO?


Isn't Elon paying for it? I thought the original point was to democratize AI, ie the venture wasn't intended to make money but to help advance humanity, so it was funded by wealthy people who didn't need the money back. But maybe I just fell for their marketing?


Elon hasn’t been involved for 2+ years. Didn’t like the direction afaik.


Such a backfire on the narrative setup.

Elons so evil amirite?

He noped out of there when they started acting shady.

Oof.


Gosh. You've seen right through us.


Well, yea? You lot stopped caring about being seen long ago.


Both your comments indicate that you regard everyone here as some kind of homogonous group who share the same views - whilst you are somehow outside or different.

That's a bit like sitting in a traffic jam complaining about the other cars. You are one of us and probably not a huge outlier either in most regard.

I don't know why you have ended up with a me vs them perception but it's probably fairly unhealthy and I hope it's something you carry around in real life as well.


How did you get that from my comments?

Guy was clearly trying to setup a narrative.
