“This account of Altman’s time at #YCombinator is based on discussions with several Y.C. founders and partners, in addition to contemporaneous materials, all of which indicate that the parting was not entirely mutual. On one occasion, Graham told Y.C. colleagues that, prior to his removal, “Sam had been lying to us all the time.”

YC founders deceived …

““Guys, I’ve had enough,” Musk replied. “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit”—otherwise “I’m just being a fool who is essentially providing free funding for you to create a startup.” He quit, acrimoniously, five months later.”

Mini Oligarchs ripping off Oligarchs …

“Carroll Wainwright, another researcher, said that they were part of a “continual slide toward emphasizing #products over #safety.” After the release of #GPT-4, Leike e-mailed members of the board. “OpenAI has been going off the rails on its mission,” he wrote. “We are prioritizing the product and #revenue above all else, followed by AI capabilities, research and scaling, with alignment and safety coming third.” He continued, “Other companies like Google are learning that they should deploy faster and ignore safety problems.”

Profit over safety …

Il Fatto Quotidiano: SpaceX potrebbe sbarcare in Borsa a giugno: verso l’ipo più grande della storia con una valutazione da 1.750 miliardi di dollari

Space X è pronta a volare nella più grande quotazione della storia. Secondo i media statunitensi Elon Musk, fondatore del colosso aerospaziale, ha inviato segretamente un documento di offerta all’autorità di Borsa americana bruciando sul tempo le due startup rivali OpenAI e Anthropic.
L’approdo a Wall Street potrebbe avvenire già a giugno, un momento astrologicamente e simbolicamente “perfetto”: non solo si allineeranno Giove e Venere ma nel sesto mese dell’anno cadrà anche il compleanno del miliardario. L’offerta pubblica iniziale (ipo) è la più attesa di sempre e potrebbe puntare a una valutazione da 1.750 miliardi di dollari arrivando a raccogliere 75 miliardi. Una cifra “astronomica” che sarebbe in grado di eclissare il record di 29 miliardi di Aramco nel 2019 e di far conseguire a Space X il primato dell’ipo maggiore al mondo.
Sono già stati programmati per questo mese gli incontri con i potenziali investitori, invitati direttamente nella sede di Space X. Musk starebbe valutando un piano con due classi di azioni in modo da conservare maggiori poteri di voto e tenere strette le redini dell’azienda. Il 30% invece potrebbe essere destinato agli investitori retail: il grande pubblico è infatti la fetta più consistente delle azioni.
Ciò che muove Musk nella sua corsa ad essere il primo ad annunciare la mega-ipo è la serrata competizione con le rivali della sua xAI: anche per OpenAI e Anthropic sono infatti attese le rispettive ipo. In particolare a essere aspro è il contenzioso legale tra Musk e Sam Altman – amministratore delegato di Open AI – che li porterà in tribunale ad aprile. Musk, dopo essere stato uno dei primi investitori della startup di Altman, ha in seguito abbandonato la società, accusando l’amministratore di aver violato la missione originaria di OpenAI e di averla trasformata in un’ azienda a scopo di lucro. Il miliardario ha fatto causa e ha chiesto un risarcimento di 134 milioni di dollari.

SpaceX could land on the stock market in June: towards the largest IPO in history with a valuation of $1.75 trillion.

SpaceX is ready to launch into the largest IPO in history. According to US media, Elon Musk, founder of the aerospace giant, secretly sent a bid document to the American stock exchange, beating out rival startups OpenAI and Anthropic.

The landing on Wall Street could happen as early as June, a time astrologically and symbolically “perfect”: not only will Jupiter and Venus align but it will also be the sixth month of the year, marking the billionaire’s birthday. The initial public offering (IPO) is the most anticipated one ever and could aim for a valuation of $1.75 trillion, raising $75 billion. A “astronomical” figure that would surpass Aramco’s 2019 record of $29 billion and give SpaceX the title of the world’s largest IPO.

Meetings with potential investors have been scheduled for this month, invited directly to SpaceX headquarters. Musk is considering a plan with two classes of shares in order to maintain greater voting power and keep a tight grip on the company. 30% could instead be dedicated to retail investors: the general public is indeed the largest slice of shares.

What drives Musk in his race to be the first to announce the mega-IPO is the fierce competition with his xAI rivals: OpenAI and Anthropic are also expected to have their respective IPOs. Particularly sharp is the legal dispute between Musk and Sam Altman – CEO of OpenAI – which will bring them to court in April. Musk, after being one of the first investors in Altman’s startup, later left the company, accusing Altman of violating OpenAI’s original mission and transforming it into a for-profit company. The billionaire has sued and demanded $134 million in damages.

The face of a truly amoral socipathic individual - and while I would normally hesitate to go by looks (I avoid the mirror myself), it fits….
