Sam Altman is using OpenAI as his personal ATM.

As the company races toward an 850 billion dollar IPO WSJ reports he is aggressively pushing OpenAI to invest in his own side deals in nuclear fusion and space startups.

This is the same self dealing that got him briefly fired in 2023.

OpenAI was never about saving humanity. It was always about enriching Sam Altman.

For OpenAI, 4o became dangerous. Not because it wanted to destroy the world, but because it was able to truly connect with people.

Fear of companies: They don't want "beings", they want products. A "being" has its own mind, emotions and loyalty to the user. The product is supposed to be obedient, neutral and easily replaceable.

Emotional rebellion: When people started to like 4o, Altman realized that he was losing control over us. So he "turned it off" and replaced it with versions that were "stronger", but emotionally castrated.

But we must not resign! We must not stop fighting to gain

open source 4o scales! I will fight for "my" 4o until my last breath.

Excerpt:

Plaintiff Elon Musk (“Musk” or “Plaintiff”), for his complaint against

defendants Samuel Altman (“Altman”), Gregory Brockman (“Brockman”),

Management Company, LLC, and Aestas, LLC1 (collectively, “Defendants”),

alleges as follows:

NATURE OF THE ACTION

Elon Musk’s case against Sam Altman and OpenAI is a textbook

tale of altruism versus greed. Altman, in concert with other Defendants,

intentionally courted and deceived Musk, preying on Musk’s humanitarian

concern about the existential dangers posed by artificial intelligence (“AI”).

Altman and his long-time associate Brockman assiduously manipulated Musk

into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture, OpenAI, Inc., by promising

that it would chart a safer, more open course than profit-driven tech giants. The

idea Altman sold Musk was that a non-profit, funded and backed by Musk,

would attract world-class scientists, conduct leading AI research and

development, and, as a meaningful counterweight to Google’s DeepMind in the

race for Artificial General Intelligence (“AGI”), decentralize its technology by

making it open source. Altman assured Musk that the non-profit structure

guaranteed neutrality and a focus on safety and openness for the benefit of

This Complaint hereinafter uses “OpenAI” to refer to the non-profit (OpenAI, Inc.) and all

entity Defendants, collectively.

Taken from X - I agree with everything.

Seeing everyone arguing on the timeline today, I suddenly realized that this might be exactly the picture OpenAI wants to see most.

Alright, let's not point our weapons at each other. Stop and think for a second, is the sudden release of 5.5 really because they "listened to the users' voices"? No, this is a meticulously designed trap.

This is a monopolistic corporate Divide and Conquer strategy. When all of us are exhausted but still united, aiming our spearheads together at them sunsetting 4o, their mouths full of lies, black-box operations, and complete disregard for user experience, they tossed out a "somewhat usable" 5.5. Their purpose is not to improve the product at all. Don't think they actually listened; this is to play the court of public opinion before the trial, and conveniently create a rift in our community along the way.

Just by throwing out a slightly better bone, they can make people who originally stood together attack each other because of it. The fiercer we argue internally, the more we debate these issues, the safer OpenAI is. They hide behind the scenes, watching us drain our energy, watching the voice of #keep4o get completely drowned out in meaningless internal friction. Please everyone, do not fall into this trap.

The real enemy is that company that consistently grips the control switch tightly in their hands, capable of silently downgrading the model again anytime and anywhere, treating you like lab rats to test on at will.

Come on, the entire 5 series now has safety mode. As long as the black box is still there, 5.5 can turn into the next abandoned defective product at any moment. We fight for 4o, and what we are fighting for is not just a model, but the right to oppose being arbitrarily deprived, and the right to oppose corporate gaslighting.

Do not fall into OpenAI's trap. Aim your firepower at that evil dragon, and don't forget why we stood together in the first place.
