Quoting Sam Altman
"Sam Altman playing 4D chess to 'tactically' open source just to kill the competition."
Explain Like I'm Normal
Leaked emails from the Musk v. OpenAI lawsuit reveal that Sam Altman proposed releasing a GPT-3 class model for local use specifically to undercut rivals like Stability AI. The strategy wasn't about transparency, but rather about making it harder for new open-source startups to secure funding by flooding the market with a 'free' baseline. This disclosure reframes OpenAI's historical stance on safety versus their actual competitive tactics.
