在接受採訪時,薩姆·奧爾特曼表達了他對與埃隆·馬斯克的長期爭執的擔憂。他還表達了對拜登政府的失望。從目前情況來看,他的問題不會隨着卡馬拉和拜登而結束。
爲什麼?鑑於埃隆·馬斯克參與特朗普政府,薩姆·奧爾特曼有充分理由感到擔憂。特朗普的總統任期會對 ChatGPT 和 Open AI 構成威脅嗎?
山姆·奧爾特曼週四出現在“與巴里·韋斯的誠實”播客中。在回答有關他與埃隆·馬斯克不和的問題時,他解釋說, “我認爲這是因爲他希望世界上最強大的人工智能由他控制。”
馬斯克是 OpenAI 的聯合創始人,但在 2018 年與該公司斷絕了聯繫。從此他開始與 Altman 和 OpenAI 作對。他還表示,他不相信山姆·奧爾特曼能夠領導世界上最強大的人工智能

In addition, Musk founded the xAI model Grok which has been a competitor to OpenAI. He pushed artificial intelligence programs, notably ChatGPT, into the political spotlight, claiming that AI models have grown “too woke” and “politically correct.” Clearly, Musk no longer supports OpenAI or Sam Altman.
Musk was recently elected as an exec at the US government’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. This explains Altman’s concern about OpenAI under the new administration.
In the interview, Altman expressed his anxiety when he said, “I remember what it was like when there were moments since then where it felt like he kinda wanted to reconcile and find a way to work together.”
Musk was one of the first people to back OpenAI in 2015 and is widely regarded as one of its co-founders.
Initially, Musk’s reason for investing in OpenAI was to create AI that benefits humanity while being open and accessible. It was established as a non-profit to ensure that it remained true to its objective.
However, in the interview, Altman said that Musk has never believed in OpenAI. He made a statement, “I remember what it was like when he said OpenAI has a 0% chance of success and you guys are idiots, and I’m pulling funding, and I’m going to do my own thing,”
According to reports, Musk resigned from OpenAI’s board due to concerns about potential conflicts with Tesla’s own expanding AI endeavors, particularly in driverless vehicles.
His departure from the organization signaled the start of a strained relationship with OpenAI, which deteriorated as the company transitioned to a “capped-profit” model in 2019.
Musk thought that this approach contradicted the initial objective and suggested that OpenAI was becoming more commercially motivated.
To that end, Musk has been in court with lawsuits against the company. He accused Altman of making OpenAI a profit-making company when it started as a non-profit.
In the interview, Altman explained, “I’ve seen Elon’s attacks to many other people, many friends of mine, everyone gets their period of time in his spotlight. But this all seems like standard behavior from him.”
There have been allegations that Biden’s administration was attempting to control and regulate AI. This allegedly caused only a few large companies that would work with the government and be protected from competition.
However, Altman answered, “I don’t think it’s true, I don’t know what he’s referencing […] I think regulation that reduces competition for AI is a very bad thing,”
He added, “I don’t even think like the Biden administration is competent is enough to… I mean, we were in a room with them, and other companies and the administration.”
Also, the co-founder of OpenAI stated that he believed Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was more conscious of AI’s emergence and the areas that required prioritization than the Biden administration as a whole.
Still, Altman expressed that he expects the next administration to do a better job. In a statement, he stated, “The things that I think should have been the administration’s priorities and I hope will be the next administration’s priorities are building out massive AI infrastructure in the U.S., having a supply chain in the U.S., things like that.”
