Submission + - Musk-led group makes $97.4bn bid for ChatGPT maker OpenAI (bbc.com)

SigmaTao writes: !--l. 10-->

A consortium led by Elon Musk has made a $97.4 billion bid to take over OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT. The bid is the latest development in a long-standing dispute between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the future of the company.

Key Points:
  • The bid is backed by Musk's AI company xAI and several private equity firms.
  • OpenAI is valued at $300 billion, according to recent talks over a funding round.
  • Musk's attorney has stated that the consortium is prepared to consider matching or exceeding any higher bid.
  • Musk is also teaming up with Oracle, a Japanese investment firm, and an Emirati sovereign wealth fund to build $500 billion of AI infrastructure in the US through the Stargate Project.

I am very much in a similar situation and have made the same decision re: use of his videos in my course. That said, though, his lecture videos were fantastic in a flipped classroom context. I haven't found a single source that covers the same material at a similar level. It's possible to piece together an entire course by offerings on YouTube a module at a time, but it's an extremely long process. Sadly, the signal to noise level wrt introductory physics is extremely low.
