The drama inside OpenAI has exposed long-running feuds between those concerned about the dangers of AI and those seeking to profit from it. The genesis of the new AI industry involved drama at Google, DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic. The creation of FAIR was comparatively drama-free. Before chatbots gained popularity, researchers, tech executives, and venture capitalists worked for over a decade to fuel AI. The competition in Silicon Valley for control of AI technology involved more than 80 executives, scientists, and entrepreneurs. The recent drama at OpenAI highlights the perils of building on someone else’s technology, and it shows that the organization can't stop AI development.
