In the unfolding legal dispute between Elon Musk and Sam Altman regarding the future trajectory of OpenAI, new details emerged during court proceedings.
According to William Savitt, legal counsel for Sam Altman, a significant email from OpenAI scientist Ilya Sutskever was presented during his opening argument. This communication reportedly coincided with the period when Musk's quarterly financial contributions to the organization concluded.
The email's content, quoted by Savitt, stated: "The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI." This message, as alleged by Savitt, profoundly upset Musk, leading him to "literally" collect his belongings and depart abruptly.
