Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion
-
Shortly after the news was announced, Altman posted on X: “no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want.”
If only their slapfight meant something good for the world. At least, I don't see everything collected in Musk's hands.

Gotta ride that debt wave - what else is there to do in life? ("Helping people" is somehow not an option, nor is simply leaving well enough alone, we apparently "need" to have his face and name and one arm raised in nearly every conversation taking place on planet earth)

SpeakIt. It's like SheepIt but for powering language models.

Lol is that even a thing? xAI? I've never heard of it, and I self host AI's, and explore them often.

How stupid is this conspiracy theory:
If it were a threat, like “this is what you’re gonna be worth if you don’t accept, anyway” depending on how power drunk he was feeling when hitting Tweet

There is still a finite amount of time per day. Any amount of time spent on this is less they have available for everything else.

There's tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.

Cage fight is no option anymore?
Well, maybe it is better this way. Let them ruin each other, and their companies. The world will be a better place then.

Ruin company A so it is worth 80% less
Ruin country USA so it is worth 80% less.

I use a 16b reduction of deepseek-r1 on my pc at home and it's definitely not total bullshit. It's 10gb of local model that can solve mathematics and physics problems for you or program in python or bash. It doesn't hallucinate (or I haven't been able to elicit it), it's aware of the extents of its knowledge. It works incredibly fast on an old ryzen 1600 with 6600xt. Having an open source reasoning AI that takes 10gb of SSD and about 13 gb of ram is so weird that the only thing weirder is seeing smart people dismiss it as bullshit out of hand.

To be clear (and as far as I understand), it’s not a hostile takeover bid because it cannot be: OpenAI is not a public company and thus doesn’t have a fiduciary duty to thousands to millions of shareholders but instead to a handful of big investors who can decide for themselves whether they want that Elon’s money or not. So this isn’t similar to what Twitter had been through but more like Elon teasing Altman I believe.
