Elon Musk Says He's Suing OpenAI Because They Abandoned Their Mission. I Think His Real Reason Is Much More Embarrassing.

Slate

A new scale of humiliation ritual kicked off this week as Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI went to trial in Silicon Valley. The Tesla CEO, who co-founded OpenAI, is suing the artificial intelligence firm and two of its other co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, for diverting from its original nonprofit goal of developing A.I. for the public good in favor of for-profit motives. "This lawsuit is very simple: It is not OK to steal a charity," Musk said on the witness stand on Tuesday. The trial is big by every conceivable measure. Both Musk and OpenAI have mustered high-dollar legal armies who are prepared to wage potentially years of litigation, including this federal trial.





Supplementary for Neural Methods for Point-wise Dependency Estimation

Neural Information Processing Systems

In this section, we shall show detailed derivations for the point-wise dependency estimation methods. Four approaches are discussed: Variational Bounds of Mutual Information, Density Matching, Probabilistic Classifier, and Density-Ratio Fitting. For convenience, we define โ„ฆ = X Y. We have PX,Y and PXPY (can also be written as PX PY) be the probability measures over ฯƒ algebras over โ„ฆ with their probability densities being the Radon-Nikodym derivatives (i.e., p(x,y) = dPX,Y/dยต and p(x)p(y) = dPXPY/dยตwith ยตbeing the Lebesgue measure). These estimators have the logarithm of point-wise dependency (PMI) as the intermediate product, which we will show in the following. We denote Mbe any class of functions m: โ„ฆ R. Proposition 1 (INWJ and its neural estimation, restating Nguyen-Wainwright-Jordan bound [5, 18]).
