Meta asks the government to block OpenAI’s switch to a for-profit

“OpenAI wants to change its status while retaining all of the benefits that enabled it to reach the point it has today,” Meta argues.

Meta is asking California Attorney General Rob Bonta to block OpenAI’s planned transition from a non-profit to for-profit entity.

In a letter sent to Bonta’s office this week, Meta says that OpenAI “should not be allowed to flout the law by taking and reappropriating assets it built as a charity and using them for potentially enormous private gains.”

The letter, which was first reported on by The Wall Street Journal and you can read in full below, goes so far as to say that Meta believes Elon Musk is “qualified and well positioned to represent the interests of Californians in this matter.” Meta supporting Musk’s fight against OpenAI is notable given that Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were talking about literally fighting in a cage match just last year.

    I have yet to receive a single chat message that was AI generated. Being able to connect to old college buddies that I otherwise would loose contact with is literally the only use case for Facebook

        Sure, but my point is that nobody posts anything on Facebook anymore. Its just bots and, well, maybe grandmas.

        Facebook today is essentially just an address book to check in on old friends when you’ve lost their contact info
