They’re acting very desperate. I guess AGI isn’t right around the corner like Altman told us last year. I’ll enjoy watching the “fall” of OpenAI, if you can even call it that considering their only product is a chatbot that hallucinates.

They also have an image model that’s fallen behind, a coding model that’s fallen behind, a good video model, a social AI slop feed powered by that model, and an upcoming erotica mode(l)

>Companies play hardball in legal disputes all the time. But until recently, OpenAI didn’t seem to be taking that approach.

So this is a predictable and not very remarkable step in OpenAI's evolution from a cute not for profit into a gargantuan American corporate entity.

I wonder how much their lawyers are using AI to inform their legal tactics: "Please generate an exhaustive subpoena that will help us defend against this claim"

Yet another example of over resourced groups drowning anyone who stands in their way. I’m not sure what the solution is but it’s getting rather tiring.
