Elon Musk‘s complaint against OpenAI has been dropped just in time for a Wednesday reading on the matter. In February, Musk filed a lawsuit against the San Francisco AI company’s CEO, Sam Altman, for what he claimed was a failure to fulfill the ChatGPT designer’s founding goals of advancing humanity over the course of a profit.
No justification for why it was being dropped was provided.
Musk claimed in the complaint filed in February that when he funded OpenAI’s development, he and Altman and the company’s founder, Greg Brockman, reached an agreement to keep the company as a nonprofit that did develop technology for the benefit of the general public while keeping its code available rather than walling it off for profit. But, by embracing a close relation with Microsoft, OpenAI and its top managers set that agreement “aflame”, Musk alleged in the complaint.
According to the majority of experts, Musk’s states were unlikely to be heard in court.
