    Tech billionaire Elon Musk is leaving the board of OpenAI, the nonprofit research group he co-founded with Y Combinator president Sam Altman to study the ethics and safety of artificial intelligence.

    The move was announced in a short blog post, explaining that Musk is leaving in order to avoid a conflict of interest between OpenAI’s work and the machine learning research done by Telsa to develop autonomous driving.

    He’s not involved anymore, but he used to be. It’s not inaccurate to say he was a co-founder.

      Ah, but, don’t forget that OpenAI is intending to share their models (if not their data too) with the federal government in exchange for special treatment. And you know who’s in the government now?

      Interesting! Cheers! I didn’t go farther than openai wiki tbh. It didn’t list him there so I figured it was inaccurate. It turns out it is me who is inaccurate!
