Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

My gut says that there's no way they do this without converting at least some of those revenue shares into ownership shares.
Also has anyone done the math on how much of OpenAI'd future profits are committed? I will laugh so hard if Sam Altman ends up in prison for the same reason as Max Bialystok.
With apologies to anyone with taste:
Sam Francisco was in trouble. Need to find another bubble
Where could that cash be? Seeking rents for me...
But now it's...
SPRINGTIME! For AI! And VC Bros!
Winter! For Users! Like you
We're marching to a faster pace! Effective now: accelerate!

As a bonus you can even keep the "don't be stupid, be a smarty" line from the original show
Who cares what elon thinks? And I'm not sure there was ever a world where openai would have truly let the nonprofit arm take over.
ah, big insights into the world of AI. Where do you think we’ll land on AGI?

I'm interpreting your phrasing as you believing that the non-profit "taking over" is somehow good, because profit motive bad presumably. But regardless of incentives, everyone involved is trying to flood the world with slop by incinerating cash and processors on industrial scales.
But so far the cash incinerator has been running on speculative financial products issued by a club of esoteric computer scientists trying to awaken the robot god. Investors are slightly uncomfortable with this, so Sammy boy is trying to offer them a more traditional vehicle to incinerate their cash (while indulging in his personal profit motive a bit).
It matters what Musk thinks because, as the article explains, he's suing them.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter what Elon actually thinks, because he would probably go through with the lawsuit given any available pretext because he's mad he got kicked out and couldn't commercialize OpenAI exactly like Sam tried.
Well, as ever with Musk, the verb thinks has to be used in a loose sense, to refer to whatever thoughtlike products he brings back from the bottom of a K-hole.
@blakestacey @scruiser it's tricky. Like, Elon 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 he's funny. Elon 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 he's smart. Elon 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 that people like him.
a truth, but not one to "give to" felon
