| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. Today on the podcast, Elon Musk is trying to get |
| 0:05.5 | $134 billion from Open AI and Microsoft in what is called a wrongful gains lawsuit. This is for his |
| 0:12.8 | early investment in OpenAI as it was a open source, you know, company that was basically |
| 0:18.0 | a non-profit and then it switched to a for-profit company. So today on the show, I want to dive into this lawsuit, um, justifications, everything going |
| 0:24.8 | into it, as well as we have nine new, um, I guess like kind of big points, revelations, |
| 0:31.1 | you could say from diary entries, text messages and late night emails in the court documents. |
| 0:37.1 | There's about 100 documents |
| 0:38.1 | that were just unsealed in this Elon Musk versus Sam Altman lawsuit coming from the co-founders of |
| 0:44.3 | OpenAI. So there's a lot of juicy stuff that just came out in this story. And I think a lot of |
| 0:49.4 | implications for the AI industry overall. So today on the show, I'll try to dive into all of this without making |
| 0:55.1 | it an article from People magazine. So we'll try to get you the unbiased business side of this |
| 1:00.3 | whole drama because I think it has a lot of implications for the AI industry. All right, |
| 1:03.9 | let's get into it before we do. If you want to build tools without knowing how to code, |
| 1:08.7 | without being a developer and using AI. |
| 1:16.8 | I highly recommend you check out AIbox.AI. This is my own startup where you can use a powerful no code assistant to help you build tools and you also get access to over 40 different |
| 1:21.6 | AI models, all the top AI models from Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, 11 labs, all in one place, |
| 1:26.8 | audio image, text generation, |
| 1:28.5 | so you can try all of the different, all the best models against each other side by side in the same chat, like chat, GPD, but just with 40 different companies, and it's 20 bucks a month. So if you want to get access to that, go check out AIbox.AI. I'll leave a link to it in the description. All right, so Elon Musk, he's just filed the lawsuit, which is seeking |
| 1:45.3 | between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages. This is an astronomical amount of money |
| 1:52.0 | from Open AI, but also Microsoft. He also tied Microsoft to this because they were the early |
| 1:57.6 | investor in Open AI, and they kind of had, I guess, some knowledge, |
| 2:01.5 | and they were pushing Open AI to be a for-profit instead of an open source nonprofit company. |
