Tech Tensions and Transformations

This chapter explores the contentious negotiations between major tech players concerning OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model, with a focus on anti-competitive practices and intellectual property issues. It also covers OpenAI's substantial contract with the U.S. Department of Defense for military AI applications, as well as significant layoffs at Intel and the emergence of a Mongolian AI foundation model. The discussion extends to legal troubles for 23andMe and Honda's new micro-mobility vehicle, reflecting broader trends in the biotech and automotive sectors.
