奥特曼和马斯克又在 X 上吵起来了。 前两天，奥特曼在 X 上发了三张图片，并配文「一个分为三幕的故事」。 图片显示，2018 年 7 月，奥特曼支付 4.5 万美元预订了 Tesla Roadster，在等待 7.5 年（从 2018 年到 2025 年 10 月）且 Roadster 仍未交付的情况下，奥特 曼决定取消预订并索要退款。 马斯克、奥特曼「冤家路窄」。 然而，他发现 Tesla 的预订邮箱地址已失效，导致无法处理退款请求。 随后，马斯克回复奥特曼，「你忘了提第四幕，这个问题在第四幕中得到了解决，你在 24 小时内就收到了退款，但这是你的本性」，并旧事重提，指责 奥特曼「你偷了一家非营利组织。」 提起这事儿奥特曼更坐不住了，转发此帖为自己辩护，强调他将 OpenAI 从马斯克离开后「奄奄一息」的状态，转变为如今估值 5000 亿美元的 AI 巨头。 他认为 OpenAI 当前的混合结构是成功的必要条件。 「你还想让特斯拉收购 OpenAI，这根本不是一个非营利组织。你说我们成功率为 0%。现在你拥有一家很棒的人工智能公司，我们也有。我们难道不能 都向前看吗？」奥特曼评论称。 2015 年，马斯克 ...

图片来源：Unsplash 一份本周突然曝光的法庭证词，炸出了OpenAI权力斗争中最隐秘的角落。 在10月1日旧金山的一次长达10小时的访谈中，苏茨克沃接受了马斯克与OpenAI律师的联合质询，内容涉及阿尔特曼被解雇的细节、他对 AGI 的观点，以 及他离开公司的真正原因。证词中的关键词——"说谎成性"——成为外界关注的焦点。 苏茨克沃透露，ChatGPT爆红后的一年内，OpenAI内部高层的关系急剧恶化，不信任与敌意蔓延。ChatGPT不仅让公司一夜成名，更吸引了微软100亿美 元的巨额投资，也让OpenAI在商业化与使命之间的平衡愈发脆弱。 OpenAI 联合创始人、前首席科学家 Ilya Sutskever首次开口，承认在Sam Altman被董事会闪电罢免后，竞争对手Anthropic曾主动推进合并，其CEO Dario Amodei甚至可能入主OpenAI，成为OpenAI的新掌门人。 达里奥和他的妹妹 Daniela Amodei（丹妮拉）早在2020年就因理念分歧离开OpenAI——他们认为AI技术的进步速度与潜在风险需要更加谨慎的平衡。这 次证词，为外界提供了一个罕见的窗口：在那段权力动荡的 ...

【CNMO科技消息】近日，xAI创始人马斯克（Elon Musk）和OpenAI CEO奥尔特曼（Sam Altman）掀 起新一轮口角。奥尔特曼称：我帮助你把原本以为已经夭折的组织，变成了有史以来规模最大的非营利 组织。奥尔特曼还表示：你说我们成功率为0%。现在你们拥有一家很棒的人工智能公司，我们也有。 我们难道不能都翻过这一页吗？ 据CNMO了解，事情起源于近日奥尔特曼的一则吐槽帖。他在X平台上表示，自己在2018年花4.5万美元 订了特斯拉Roadster汽车，但一直跳票到现在也未收到，希望退款却被拒绝。一天后马斯克在其帖子下 挑起另一个话题，称"你偷了一个非营利组织"，而奥尔特曼在今天凌晨连发两条帖子回应此事。 在ChatGPT问世以来，马斯克多次公开指责OpenAI专注于利润最大化，与最初的使命背道而驰。2024年 2月底，马斯克正式起诉OpenAI与奥尔特曼，控告他们放弃了公司的最初使命，即开发人工智能以造福 人类而不是为了利润，并提到自己投入大量时间精力与金钱帮助OpenAI发展。 据悉，双方矛盾始于2015年。同年，两人共同创立OpenAI，最初，OpenAI的定位是一家致力于推动AI 发展的 ...
