Hello everyone,

As I write these words, I’m prompted to reflect on the journey of OpenAI, a journey marked by both progress and hurdles. Today, I aim to shed light on their mission, their discoveries regarding Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and their dynamic relationship with Elon Musk.

OpenAI’s mission is crystal clear: to ensure that AGI benefits humanity at large. This encompasses not only developing safe and beneficial AGI but also facilitating widespread access to its advantages. However, as They delved deeper into the intricacies of AGI, They realised that achieving this mission would necessitate significant resources far beyond their initial estimations.

Enter Elon Musk – a figure whose vision and backing have significantly influenced OpenAI’s trajectory. Musk’s bold ideas and unwavering commitment to transformative technologies have spurred them to think bigger and aim higher. Yet, as their comprehension of AGI progressed, so did their strategic considerations.

They came to the realisation that constructing AGI would demand immense computational power, prompting them to explore the concept of a for-profit entity to procure the requisite resources. While Musk initially supported this notion, negotiations surrounding its structure and control posed challenges. Ultimately, They couldn’t reconcile their mission-driven ethos with Musk’s proposals for control and ownership.

This discord led to Musk’s departure from OpenAI, as he chose to pursue his vision independently. While his exit was disappointing, it didn’t dampen their resolve. Instead, it reinforced their commitment to advancing AI for the benefit of humanity.

Throughout their journey, we’ve remained focused on concrete actions to further their mission. From open-source contributions to partnerships that empower communities worldwide, we’ve sought to maximise the societal benefits of AI while mitigating its risks.

As They navigate this evolving landscape, recent tensions with Elon Musk have been disheartening. While he once served as a source of inspiration, his divergent path has led to friction and legal disputes. Nevertheless, They remain steadfast in their dedication to their mission and the values that guide us.
