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.

Just cos meta supports it doesnt mean its bad. The enemy of my enemy etc etc
Yeah I mean zuck and musk don’t want it because it removes an extra hoop that OpenAI has to jump through to compete, but all said and done fuck all three of them for taking another leap in human achievement and making it a “profit for investors at any cost.” And fuck OpenAI especially for pretending that wasn’t the case all along
Probably the only time this year I’ll agree with Zuckerborg.
Fuck Meta. Fuck OpenAI.
And, I’d like to add, fuck Musk.
But maybe they can fuck each other a bit?
“Let them
fightfuck”
90% of Facebook content is AI generated content now. I cant even see what my friends are doing anymore. Makes me want to just delete it. But, I do occasionally see stuff from family and friends, which is the only reason I keep it. Some people I only stay in touch with through Facebook. But seriously, fuck that company.
You won’t miss it, you think you will but you honestly won’t.
I have only used groups to ask questions. Do people still do that, go browse the Facebook feed? I thought that’s a grandma thing
Getting rid of Facebook was easily one of the best things I’ve done. The people that are important will find other ways to reach out.
It reminds me of Facebook friends who are worthless
Pull the plug, you won’t look back.
Start a text group chat.
oh yeah, the “free” market
let them fight
Why doesn’t Meta want Open AI to be a for-profit company?
And are there any examples of a company that started as a non-profit becoming for-profit?
for profit would imply they can grow even faster due to having funds to expand its service. You would be against it if you plan on having your own competing AI service(which meta clearly does)
Also, he does not want to be a Roko basilisk snack
But in that case sooner or later Roko’s basilisk will achieve its goal if you try to stop it, it will punish you in the process.
