OpenAI CEO named Sam Altman has reacted angrily to Twitter CEO Elon Musk's criticism of his for-profit firm, which is now owned by Microsoft.
Altman stated on the 'On with Kara Swisher' podcast that OpenAI is "independent" of Microsoft.
Altmans says that CEO Elon Musk has been very critical of OpenAI on Twitter.
"Elon Musk is attacking us," he observed.
"To be positive about Elon, I believe he genuinely cares about the future of artificial general intelligence" (AGI). Whatever else you want to say about him, he's a jerk. "But he has a style that I wouldn't want for myself," Altman was quoted as saying.
But I think he cares, and he's worried about what the future will look like for humanity," the OpenAI CEO added.
In early 2018, Musk attempted to take control of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, but Altman and the other founders of OpenAI rejected Musk's proposal.
According to Semafor, Musk later left the company and reneged on a large planned donation.
According to Musk, the "venture had fallen fatally behind Google."
Musk resigned from the board of directors in 2018, citing a conflict of interest with his work at Tesla.
The Semafor report also says that he also broke a promise to contribute $1 billion in funding, contributing only $100 million before walking away.
In March 2019, OpenAI announced the formation of a for-profit entity to raise sufficient funds to pay for the computing power.
Microsoft also invested $1 billion in OpenAI less than six months later, and the rest is history.
