ChatGPT maker
OpenAI
has announced an AI model called
Sora
that can create HD video of up to 60 seconds based on text prompts provided by users. Company
CEO Sam Altman
, who said that the tool will be available for a select number of people, invited examples of such videos created using the AI tool.
Elon Musk
, who was previously associated with OpenAI, pounced on this opportunity to take a dig at Altman.
Altman, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), asked people to post videos that they have made and share the text command they used to create that particular video. Several people, including CRED cofounder Kunal Shah, shared the videos and corresponding texts, which Altman shared on his X timeline.
Among those was a handle DogeDesigner which posted, “A guy turning a non profit open source company into a profit making closed source company”. Musk quickly reshared a screenshot of the reply.
“Can't wait for the video, Sam! ,” DogeDesigner said in a separate post, which was reposted by Musk.
Elon Musk’s issue with OpenAI
For those unversed, Musk was once a part of OpenAI but he quit saying that the company’s working did not align with his interests. He has also been critical of OpenAI, especially after Microsoft announced billions in funding.
Musk targeted OpenAI by saying that the ChatGPT-maker was started as a non-profit company but it turned into a for profit organisation. By reposting DogeDesigner’s posts, Musk once again attacked Altman and OpenAI for its business practices.
Last year around the same time, Musk mocked Altman saying, “OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft. Not what I intended at all.”
