PPS - Sam Altman @sama gets back on the board, cool. In my experience, the founder/CEO should be on the board. It's too awkward if not, especially given what happened here with Sam and his ouster, a blunder for the company. #OpenAi #BoardGovernance

🧵Elon's losing case against OpenAI, Microsoft, and Altman, as explained by me, a tech lawyer, general counsel and former litigator. Tl;dr - PR fireworks and fun-to-read intrigue and philosophizing about AGI. But legally, a stinker because there's no contract breach. Thread. 👇 [image]

Elon Musk's OpenAI lawsuit repeatedly cites a contentious paper by Microsoft's research lab, which said GPT-4 showed “sparks” of AGI, to argue that GPT-4 is AGI

4/ 📂 So what about the next line in the Articles, that OpenAI “will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable.” Psst - “when applicable” is magic legal code for “whenever we want.” It could be never. Btw, OpenAI does open sources things. Even... [image]

In his lawsuit against OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, Mr. Musk relies on a provocative paper from the start-up's closest partner.

Nice thread by @martyswant of DallE making cartoon characters. I tested it by asking my 3-year-old to guess them. She got only 7 of the 12. Not Winnie the Pooh and not Mickey. The fair use art generation cases will be fascinating!

The lawsuits against tech companies could shape what copyright means for AI, or simply serve as leverage for plaintiffs to secure more favorable licensing deals

The bar for fair use is typically that the new work doesn't compete with the original. … X: Sar Haribhakti / @sarthakgh : “If the NY Times successfully argues that reading a third ...

The lawsuits against AI companies could shape the future of copyright or may simply serve as leverage for plaintiffs to secure more favorable licensing deals

The use of content from news and information providers to train artificial intelligence systems may force a reassessment of where to draw legal lines.

@jasonlk Even as a former litigator, I strongly agree. Intellectual property disputes run 500K-1M a month to litigate on the very low end. Hard to imagine prepublic companies that can afford that extra burn. This Masimo case is interesting though because it got national attention. My...

A profile of Joe Kiani, whose company Masimo spent ~$100M suing Apple, as some say his aggressive use of the US patent system stymies the innovation of others

Joe Kiani has taken on Apple in a patent dispute that has cost his company millions of dollars to pursue.  So far he is winning, but the fight isn't over.

Meanwhile, OpenAI revenue up 20% in a month, to $1.6B ARR. Great to see the Altman affair didn't phase enterprise customers. Great reporting by @theinformation. https://www.theinformation.com/ ...

The Information

Sources: OpenAI recently topped $1.6B in annualized revenue, up from $1.3B in mid-October; some OpenAI leaders believe OpenAI can reach a $5B ARR by 2024's end

It's effectively an imaginary number.  It isn't the revenue made this year. … X: Ant Stanley / @iamstan : Annualized Revenue is a VC metric and different from Annual revenue. It is...

3/ 🦸 NYT is a great plaintiff. It isn't just about articles; it's about originality and the creative process. Their investigative journalism, like an in-depth taxi lending exposé cited in the complaint, goes beyond mere labor—it's creativity at its core. But here's a twist:...

The New York Times' lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft relies on a false belief that copyright can limit the right to read and process data

This week the NY Times somehow broke the story of... well, the NY Times suing OpenAI and Microsoft.  I wonder who tipped them off.
