Elon Musk has announced his intention to acquire OpenAI, although the seriousness of this offer is still uncertain. Recent information from within OpenAI reveals that CEO Sam Altman has disclosed details and opinions to the company’s employees. Altman states that as of now, there has been no official offer from Elon Musk and his group of investors. Whether the acquisition will go through remains unclear, as the structure of OpenAI is designed to prevent any one entity from dominating the business. Elon himself has a competing AI company with a different mission than OpenAI, causing some chaos as we currently lead the way. Altman emphasizes to employees that Elon has a history of claims that haven’t materialized multiple times before, urging them to focus on their work and continue moving forward. Source: CNBC
