Jaden Schaefer: 本期播客讨论了OpenAI首席执行官Sam Altman的股权争议。Altman此前曾向国会宣称自己没有OpenAI的股份,但最近的采访显示他可能通过Sequoia基金等途径间接持有OpenAI股份。这一事件引发了人们对OpenAI从非营利组织向营利性组织转型的质疑,以及对科技高管在国会作证时缺乏问责机制的担忧。Altman的言行不一,以及OpenAI转型过程中涉及的各种利益纠葛,都使得这一事件变得扑朔迷离。 此外,Elon Musk正在起诉OpenAI,Meta也致信加州总检察长,要求阻止OpenAI的转型。这些事件都表明,OpenAI的转型之路充满了挑战和争议。 总而言之,Sam Altman的股权争议以及OpenAI的转型,都反映了科技行业中存在的复杂利益关系和监管难题。 Sam Altman: 我没有OpenAI的股份。(国会证词) 我通过一个旧的YC基金拥有少量股份,之前通过Sequoia基金也有一些,但我卖掉了Sequoia的股份。(Barry Weiss采访) OpenAI发言人: Sam Altman在Sequoia基金中的投资最终导致其间接持有OpenAI少量股份。 Elon Musk: 我投资了OpenAI,现在你们转型为营利性公司,这是违背承诺的。 Meta: 我们对OpenAI放弃非营利地位转为营利性公司表示担忧,并敦促加州总检察长审查这一交易。
