Related: OpenAI to release its first ‘open’ language model since GPT-2 in 2019Musk and Altman: A complicated historyThe rivalry between the two entrepreneurs stems from OpenAI’s commercialization efforts and Altman’s alleged abandonment of the startup’s founding mission as a nonprofit. Musk and a group of investors reportedly tabled a $97.4 billion buyout offer for OpenAI in February, but the proposed deal was apparently rejected by Altman, who took to social media to say “no thank you.”Altman did, however, express interest in buying X for $9.74 billion, or one-tenth of the proposed OpenAI buyout bid.
Citing anonymous sources, The Verge reported on April 15 that OpenAI is developing an “X-like social network” that combines ChatGPT’s image generation tools and a social feed, presumably to allow users to share their AI-generated pictures with a broader audience. It’s unclear whether OpenAI will spin out a new social media platform or roll the features into ChatGPT, the sources said.
