    We are making this choice because we cannot be confident that SpaceX will use our technology within our terms of service, based on our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts.


The pot calling the kettle black. Look who's talking. A company that trained it's models illegally on so many copyrighted materials without compensating anyone involved.

For a company named "Open" AI, they've been hardly open at all and the slew of resignations of top tier execs in the company is really the proof.

Make no mistake, this isn't a moral decision. This is just killing the competition using morality as an excuse.



Codex cli is open source rust project (Claude Code is not). Whisper is an open weight ASR/STT model. GPT-OSS is an open weight LLM that can run locally and is still very capable. CLIP is an open source model used for image encoding. Just some of the open contributions from OpenAI


All these were released way late for a company called "Open" AI. But go on, keep defending the billion dollar corporation.


Correct. It's killing the competition. Which is what you should do if you want to run a successful business.


Then don't be pretentious and frame it as a morality statement. Just call it what it is.


Framing your competition killing as morality is also something you should do to be successful.


Only if you're a terrible person with poor ethics. This isn't how great companies operate. That's just deception.
