The artificial intelligence firm is seeking a dismissal of Musk’s lawsuit.
On Oct. 8, OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss Elon Musk’s lawsuit against it. The artificial intelligence firm says Musk is using the court system to “harass” it amid a bid to bolster the fortunes of his own competing company, xAI.
Musk filed suit against OpenAI in February, alleging that the company had strayed from its “not-for-profit” roots. At the time, questions surrounding OpenAI’s potential pivot to a “for profit” model, as described in the lawsuit, spurred conversations throughout the AI community about the legality of OpenAI’s business model.

The Guillemot family and Tencent would likely take the company private if the deal happens.
Chinese technology and gaming giant Tencent and the Guillemot family are reportedly in talks to purchase French games publisher and developer Ubisoft in a deal that would take the company private.
The report comes via Bloomberg citing “people familiar with the matter,” but follows months of speculation over Ubisoft’s future after the company was forced to lower its revenue expectations for its upcoming flagship gaming title, “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows.”
Ubisoft is a publicly traded company whose primary shareholders are its founders, members of the Guillemot family, and Tencent.
The tech is still experimental, but its implications could change how users view reality.
Meta recently showed off a new “Hyperscape” tech that takes the idea of stitching photographs together to form a 3D environment — such as YouTube’s 360 videos — and turns it into a real-time rendering system that could potentially revolutionize telepresence and redefine the idea of working from home.
Meta’s still as bullish as ever when it comes to the metaverse. As Cointelegraph recently reported, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the company’s new “Orion” smart glasses at the company’s “Connect” event on Sept. 25.
The Orion glasses purportedly give the user an effective heads-up display, allowing them to navigate the physical world with digital information seamlessly integrated into what they are seeing.

Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, released an essay on Sept. 23 proclaiming the arrival of the “Intelligence Age.”
In it, he claimed that humanity would see exponential advancement through artificial intelligence including “fixing the climate, establishing a space colony, and the discovery of all of physics – will eventually become commonplace.”
Many criticized his statements as the usual pie-in-the-sky ideas that have been coming out of Silicon Valley for years.
