Once upon a time, in the year 2015, these two were as inseparable as a nose and its shadow. Together, they birthed OpenAI, a noble endeavor to create artificial intelligence that would benefit all humanity. Oh, the lofty dreams! Each pledged a billion dollars, as if tossing coins into a wishing well. But, as in all good Russian tales, harmony was fleeting. Musk, ever the restless soul, began to see shadows where Altman saw light. He wanted OpenAI to merge with Tesla, to become a for-profit behemoth. Altman, the steadfast guardian of nonprofit purity, refused. And so, the cracks began to form, like a poorly built Petersburg pavement. 🛣️💔
