In the order they appear in the post. Each quotation is the speaker’s words in this post. A label such as “Supported” or “Can’t be checked” is the claim’s current assessment; its page has the evidence and the reasons.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“The world would be better off if the transition to for-profit was unwound forcing the company to benefit humanity, as Musk has asked.”
What we tested: OpenAI's transition to for-profit should be unwound so the company is forced to benefit humanity.
Assessment: UnresolvedSaid
“If the trial is cast as a referendum on Musk, rather than on OpenAI’s founders, he will lose.”
What we tested: If the trial is framed as a referendum on Musk rather than OpenAI's founders, Musk will lose the lawsuit against OpenAI.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“I hope his lawyers will keep focus on OpenAI’s pattern of behavior, rather than on his own contributions to the company.”
What we tested: Musk's lawyers should focus the trial on OpenAI's pattern of behavior rather than Musk's contributions.
Assessment: Can’t be checkedSaid
“Tactically, from what I can glean from the reporting, Musk may be making the trial too much about himself.”
What we tested: Musk may be making the OpenAI trial too much about himself.
Held from this post (2)
These records did not pass every check, so nothing about them is published. Held is not a finding.
- The record does not meet the current rules. Our reading, not assessed: OpenAI benefited from its nonprofit claim in recruiting, fundraising and reputation from Musk, tax-exempt status, and other ways.
- The two reviews reached different assessments. Our reading, not assessed: OpenAI repeatedly promised in legal documents and public statements to be a nonprofit for the benefit of humanity and then broke that promise.
