  • Read a bit of the court filing, not the whole thing though since you get the gist pretty early on. Jornos put spin on everything, so here’s my understanding of the argument:

    1. Musk, who has given money to OpenAI in the past, and thus can legally file a complaint, states that
    2. OpenAI, which is a registered as an LLC, and which is legally a nonprofit, and has the stated goal of benefitting all of humanity has
    3. Been operating outside of its legally allowed purpose, and in effect
    4. Used its donors, resources, tax status, and expertise to create closed source algorithms and models that currently exclusively benefit for-profit concerns (Musk’s attorney points out that Microsoft Bing’s AI is just ChatGPT) and thus
    5. OpenAI has created a civil tort (a legally recognized civil wrong) wherein
    6. Money given by contributors would not haven been given had the contributors been made aware this deviation from OpenAI’s mission statement and
    7. The public at large has not benefited from any of OpenAI’s research, and thus OpenAI has abused its preferential tax status and harmed the public

    It’s honestly not the worst argument.
