> leaked emails where founders say they just wanna get rich without any consideration of their initial "open" claims

Point me to these? Would like to have a look.

Sorry, not leaked emails, but it's the Greg Brockman's diary and leaked texts.

I didn't find the original lawsuit documents, but there's a screenshot in this video: https://youtu.be/csybdOY_CQM?si=otx3yn4N26iZoN7L&t=182 (timestamp is 3:02 if you don't see it)

There's more details about the behind-the-scenes and greg brockman's diary leaks in this article: https://www.techbuzz.ai/articles/open-ai-lawsuit-exposed-the... Some documents are made public thanks to the Musk-OpenAI trial.

I'll let you read a few articles about this lawsuit, but basically they said to Musk (and frankly, to everyone else) that they were committed to the non-profit model, while behind the scenes thinking about "making the billion" and turning for-profit.

Hate that bringing fraud to justice means paying out to the wealthiest person on the planet....

Much appreciated!

Edit: Ah, so the fake investment announcements started from the very beginning. Incredible.

Literally everyone raising money is just searching for the magic combo of stuff to make it happen. Nobody enjoys raising money. Wouldn’t read that much into this.
