Reaching A.G.I. could also reshape OpenAI’s business. When that declaration is made, Microsoft loses its rights to use OpenAI’s technology, according to the investment contract it signed with OpenAI. If OpenAI severs its ties to Microsoft, it could consider partnerships with other tech giants.
Already, OpenAI’s for-profit company has used this potential declaration as leverage against Microsoft — warning that if Microsoft will not agree to better terms, the nonprofit might issue this declaration and void their entire agreement, according to a person familiar with the company’s negotiations.
That’s pretty messed up. So whenever OpenAI says they’ve achieved AGI it’s just a gonna be a lie.
If you happen to be paying for iCloud storage, you could use their hide-my-email service for those rare accounts and have it send to your proton email (apple lets you use an external email to forward to).
