A 7-year-old rivalry between tech leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman over who should run OpenAI and prevent an artificial intelligence "dictatorship" is now heading to a federal judge as Musk seeks to halt the ChatGPT maker's ongoing shift into a for-profit company. Musk, an early OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year alleging it had betrayed its founding aims as a nonprofit research lab benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits. Musk has since escalated the dispute, adding new claims and asking for a court order that would stop OpenAI’s plans to convert itself into a for-profit business more fully. The world's richest man, whose companies include Tesla, SpaceX and social media platform X, last year started his own rival AI company, xAI. Musk says it faces unfair competition from OpenAI and its close business partner Microsoft, which has supplied the huge computing resources needed to build AI systems such as ChatGPT. “OpenAI and Microsoft together exploiting Musk’s donations so they can build a for-profit monopoly, one now specifically targeting xAI, is just too much,” says Musk's filing that alleges the companies are violating the terms of Musk’s foundational contributions to the charity. OpenAI is filing a response Friday opposing Musk’s requested order, saying it would cripple OpenAI’s business and mission to the advantage of Musk and his own AI company. A hearing is set for January before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland. At the heart of the dispute is a 2017 internal power struggle at the fledgling startup that led to Altman becoming OpenAI's CEO. Musk also sought to be CEO and in an email outlined a plan where he would “unequivocally have initial control of the company” but said that would be temporary. He grew frustrated after two other OpenAI co-founders said he would hold too much power as a major shareholder and chief executive if the startup succeeded in its goal to achieve better-than-human AI known as artificial general intelligence , or AGI. Musk has long voiced concerns about how advanced forms of AI could threaten humanity. “The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI," said a 2017 email to Musk from co-founders Ilya Sutskever and Greg Brockman. “You stated that you don't want to control the final AGI, but during this negotiation, you've shown to us that absolute control is extremely important to you.” In the same email, titled “Honest Thoughts,” Sutskever and Brockman also voiced concerns about Altman's desire to be CEO and whether he was motivated by “political goals.” Altman eventually succeeded in becoming CEO, and has remained so except for a period last year when he was fired and then reinstated days later after the board that ousted him was replaced. OpenAI published the messages Friday in a blog post meant to show its side of the story, particularly Musk's early support for the idea of making OpenAI a for-profit business so it could raise money for the hardware and computer power that AI needs. It was Musk, through his wealth manager Jared Birchall, who first registered “Open Artificial Technologies Technologies, Inc.”, a public benefit corporation, in September 2017. Then came the “Honest Thoughts” email that Musk described as the “final straw.” “Either go do something on your own or continue with OpenAI as a nonprofit,” Musk wrote back. OpenAI said Musk later proposed merging the startup into Tesla before resigning as the co-chair of OpenAI's board in early 2018. Musk didn't immediately respond to emailed requests for comment sent to his companies Friday. Asked about his frayed relationship with Musk at a New York Times conference last week, Altman said he felt “tremendously sad” but also characterized Musk’s legal fight as one about business competition. “He’s a competitor and we’re doing well,” Altman said. He also said at the conference that he is “not that worried” about the Tesla CEO’s influence with President-elect Donald Trump. OpenAI said Friday that Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, joining a number of tech companies and executives who are working to improve their relationships with the incoming administration. —————————— The Associated Press and OpenAI have a licensing and technology agreement allowing OpenAI access to part of the AP’s text archives.A hydrogen-powered bus exploded at a charging station in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, Monday. Courtesy of the Chungju city government Operations of all Chungju hydrogen buses halted after first such incident in Korea The explosion of a hydrogen bus in Chungju, a city located in the center of Korea, has raised safety concerns about the fuel type, which is often viewed as a safe and sustainable energy source for the future of transportation. An official at the city's charging station and two other individuals were injured in an explosion on Monday, as the vehicle was starting its engine after charging, causing the rear of the vehicle to be blown off. Investigators from relevant organizations, including the Korea Gas Safety Corporation (KGS), began to look into the case immediately, prompting the city's authorities to suspend operations of all 18 hydrogen-powered buses. According to the KGS and industry experts, this is the first such incident in Korea since the introduction of commercial hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) more than 10 years ago. “Data shows that was the first explosion involving an HFCV. Hydrogen is a safe energy source, but there is no 100 percent,” a KGS official told The Korea Times, Tuesday. “The incident will be carefully and thoroughly investigated to find out what exactly caused it.” In an HFCV, hydrogen is stored in a high-pressure tank and mixed with oxygen from the air in a fuel cell to generate electricity, which powers the vehicle's electric motor. Based on the location where the explosion occurred, experts said the tank, which is installed in the upper or lower part of a hydrogen bus, was probably not the problem. “The part is where the fuel cell stack is located. But for now, it is too early to state anything conclusively, given that too little is known about the case,” one said. The bus, manufactured by Hyundai Motor, began operations in August 2022. Officials stated that the driver was en route to an auto repair shop that day after the "F" (fault) icon had appeared on the dashboard on Dec. 21. “We will faithfully cooperate with the investigation to find the exact cause of the accident,” the company said in a statement sent to The Korea Times. This incident underscores the challenges and safety considerations that come with adopting new energy technologies in transportation, as seen with the adoption of electric cars whose lithium-ion batteries raised safety worries after in recent months. As of October, 36,989 HFCVs were registered for operation in Korea, up from 29,623 in 2022 and 893 in 2018, according to data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The government aims to increase the number of HFCVs operating on the nation’s roads to 300,000 by 2030 as part of its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Industry experts also expressed concerns over the possible ramifications of the incident at a time when Hyundai, one of the market leaders, is expanding its hydrogen business overseas. This all adds to the concerns regarding U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s return to power. During his election campaign, Trump repeatedly about HFCVs’ safety. According to by the Wall Street Journal, there are 18,300 passenger hydrogen vehicles on U.S. roads, with no reports of explosions or fatalities from these vehicles in the past 10 years.

On Tuesday, council unanimously authorized the mayor and clerk to sign an Ontario transfer payment agreement (TPA) regarding a funding grant in the amount of $491,389 for Next Generation 911. The existing 911 system has been in place for more than 30 years and has reached its end of life, council heard. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission (CRTC) has directed that emergency telecommunications networks and 911 call centres, also referred to as public safety answering points (PSAPs), must transition to a new 911 communication system, known as Next Generation (NG911), by March 4, 2025. Once fully implemented, the new Next Generation system will make it easier to provide additional details about emergency situations, such as video from the scene of an accident and the ability to text 911 when requesting immediate help from police, fire, or ambulance services. It will also give emergency operators and dispatchers the ability to identify the location of a call using global positioning system (GPS) coordinates, resulting in a safer, faster, and more informed emergency response. The changeover from the current system to the next generation system comes at a major financial cost to the town, however, and staff has been seeking out quotations and applying for grant opportunities. The Ontario government has earmarked $208 million to help municipalities transition to Next Generation 911 technology. Gananoque received $620,000 in the first year, $1,047,528 in the second year, and $491,389 in year three. The grant is to begin on April 1, 2024 and conclude on March 31, 2025, covering the costs of implementation.
