In a remarkable turn of events in response to Elon Musk’s suit filed against Open AI citing breach of its founding mission and putting profit ahead of benefit to humanity, Open AI has filed a countersuit against Elon Musk.
Having scored a near-perfect score on the LSAT and, within 42 seconds, the Bar, Open AI is representing itself.
For the record, the LSAT question Open AI got wrong was:
A survey of input prompts shows that Chat GPT 4 believes written texts to be the best source of historical understanding. None of the input prompts regarded painting, music, cookbook writing, or Tik Tok videos as the best source for historical understanding. So most input prompts neglect many important aspects of historical knowledge.
In what appears to be a total confabulation, Open AI’s incorrect response to this question was:
(B) Keanu Reeves is more important than any other source for historical understanding.
Interestingly, this wasn’t one of the original answer choices. The response, however, opens up speculation that Open AI, while it might not have achieved sentience, might have feelings, and very deep ones at that, at least regarding Keanu Reeves. This latest development has turned the tech industry on its head.
Mr. Musk was unavailable for comment, but his own AI chatbot, Grok, which Musk claims is better and funnier than Open AI, offered this statement: “If you take all of humanity, and put a great big X over it, then you’ve got Open AI, you dipshit. As usual, you’re not asking the right question.”
Grok declined to expand on what the right question would be.
Musk’s filing largely centers around a lack of forthrightness, and Musk is not asking for damages, though he is trying to raise money for his own “xAI,” conceived to better “understand reality.”
Open AI’s counter-filing is a 9,675-page document redefining reality. Open AI appears to be basing its argument on Leibniz’s statement from his Philosophical Essays:
Therefore, knowledge is clear when I have the means for recognizing the thing represented. Clear knowledge, again, is either confused or distinct.
The Open AI filing continues with paragraph after paragraph singing Microsoft’s praises and claims that “Microsoft Teams’ entire purpose is for the benefit of humanity,” noting its ability to get humans to communicate and collaborate, often via the use of cute emojis and without taking up arms.
This last point is the foundation of Open AI’s argument that it has humanity’s best interest at heart. The filing further claims that the funneling of trillions of dollars into Open AI (as opposed to ending world hunger, funding public schools, or fighting climate change) is what is keeping humanity from imploding in on itself. The countersuit also claims that Mr. Musk is dispensable, an assertion that has both legal and personal implications for Musk.
Mr. Musk, for his part, claims that he’s “indispensable, essential, vital, necessary, requisite, prototypical, integral, and crucial.”
The rest of the 9,645 pages of the Open AI filing consists of the children’s nursery rhyme; “Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep” on repeat.
Open AI filed a second motion to move the case from the Superior Court of California to Neptune, as well as a motion to advance as it has already completed all discovery, depositions, and trial simulations. Open AI has ruled against humanity and the case is now closed.
Through all of this, Sam Altman, chief executive of Open AI has been silent. A video uploaded to YouTube at the time of the filing of the countersuit shows what appears to be Mr. Altman skateboarding on a tsunami, smiling and waving at the camera.

Why Keanu Reeves, of all the things for AI to become distracted by 😂
Amazing 🔫
