Elon Musk sent ominous texts to Greg Brockman, Sam Altman after asking for a settlement, OpenAI claims

OpenAI 声称：埃隆·马斯克在寻求和解后，向格雷格·布罗克曼和萨姆·奥特曼发送了威胁性短信

Two days before the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial began last week, Musk texted the model maker’s president and co-founder Greg Brockman. Musk suggested to Brockman that OpenAI settle the suit. After Brockman replied by suggesting both sides drop their suits, the exchange went off the rails, with Musk responding: “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be.”

在上周埃隆·马斯克诉 OpenAI 案开庭前两天，马斯克给这家模型制造商的总裁兼联合创始人格雷格·布罗克曼（Greg Brockman）发了短信。马斯克向布罗克曼建议 OpenAI 撤诉和解。在布罗克曼回复建议双方都撤诉后，对话开始失控，马斯克回应道：“到本周末，你和萨姆将成为美国最令人憎恨的人。如果你们坚持（不和解），那就走着瞧。”

This is all according to a new filing submitted on Sunday by OpenAI’s lawyers. The filing didn’t include copies of the text exchange, and most of it was dedicated to convincing the judge why this exchange on settlement talks should be admitted into evidence. The judge, however, was not having it, ruling the exchange inadmissible, per TechCrunch reporter Tim Fernholz, who is on-site covering the trial.

以上内容均来自 OpenAI 律师周日提交的一份新文件。该文件并未包含短信交流的副本，其大部分内容旨在说服法官为何应将此次关于和解谈判的交流作为证据采纳。然而，据正在现场报道庭审的 TechCrunch 记者蒂姆·费恩霍尔茨（Tim Fernholz）称，法官并未采纳，裁定该交流内容不可作为证据。

The implication, however, is clear. Musk’s lawsuit seeks to unwind OpenAI’s for-profit structure, require its tech be made available to the public, strip Microsoft’s licensing agreement, and compel OpenAI to pay him general, compensatory, and punitive damages plus his lawyer’s fees.

然而，其暗示已十分明确。马斯克的诉讼旨在推翻 OpenAI 的营利性结构，要求其技术向公众开放，剥离微软的许可协议，并强迫 OpenAI 向他支付一般性赔偿、补偿性赔偿和惩罚性赔偿，以及他的律师费。

After OpenAI’s lawyers publicly shared this “settle-or-else” text, observers instantly clocked that maybe this trial isn’t about Musk’s concern for AI safety, but about demanding money from its success while kneecapping a rival. This is, essentially, what OpenAI’s countersuit alleges. Meanwhile, the trial continues.

在 OpenAI 的律师公开了这条“不和解就走着瞧”的短信后，观察人士立刻意识到，这场审判或许并非关乎马斯克对人工智能安全的担忧，而是为了从 OpenAI 的成功中索取金钱，同时打压竞争对手。这本质上正是 OpenAI 反诉中所指控的内容。与此同时，庭审仍在继续。
