The new OpenAi image generator takes a 180º turn in a section that we did not see coming: censorship

by

That of the photo is supposed to be that of Karl Marx with purchase bags and with an unusual attitude: leaving a shopping center and demonstrating An unusual change to capitalist and consumerist philosophy. But of course, it is not him: he is a Deepfake generated by a very peculiar model. Specifically, by the new OpenAi model integrated in Chatgpt and that goes beyond Dall-e in a key apparent: censorship. Goodbye (almost) to censorship. In the “system card“From this OpenAi model, a unique message stands out: we can generate deepfakes without apparent problems. As explained in that text, “The generation of images 4 is able, in many cases, to generate a representation of a public figure based only on an indication of text. In this launch, We will not block the ability to generate adult public figuresbut we will implement the same safeguards that we have implemented for the edition of images of photorealist loads of people. For example, this includes trying to block the generation of photorealist images of public figures that are minor and material that violates our policies related to violence, images that encourage hate, instructions for illegal activities, erotic content and other areas. Public characters who wish not to generate their image can choose not to participate. “ A similar approach to Grok’s. Openai’s philosophy is now The same line than the one Grok 3 raised With its generation of images months ago. Censorship disappeared and it was feasible to generate any type of Deepfake even with public characters. Openai responsible highlight how the approach here is different from the series of Dall-E models, and that “opens the possibility of useful and beneficial uses in areas such as educational, historical, satirical and political discourse.” Even so, they add, they will continue “monitoring the use of this capacity, evaluating our policies, and we will adjust them if necessary”, which makes it clear that a misuse of these options could lead OpenAi to re -apply censorship mechanisms. Why now. Openai’s decision is striking, but logical. Grok 3, which was a little widespread model, has achieved some popularity thanks to that “politically incorrect” approach to its AI model. After all, AI models are tools, and can be used for both good and evil, like any other tool. Controlling the bad uses is extremely difficult and expensive, and here OpenAi leaves the ball on the roof of the users. The Deepfake generation With famous characters in Grok 3, he unleashed a flood of memes and contents of all kinds with those celebrities, but it seems that in recent times “we have become accustomed” to having that capacity and apparently the diffusion of these images has relaxed. The initial controversy has blurred, and Openai probably knows that this will help further boost the use of chatgpt and perhaps to harm his rival, Grok 3. The quality of the photorealist images rises of level in this new image generator integrated in chatgpt with GPT-4O. Source: OpenAi. But they don’t want to put the leg. Generating images is wonderful, but it can also end up being a problem for the models that put the leg. It happened to Google with Gemini, which ended up generating controversial images of Black Nazis soldiers in which the desire to be inclusive ended up posing reputational problems and Important economic. He Addendum to the official announcement by OpenAI Let it clear They have taken special care to generate “safe” images. The model censures much less, but can continue to be refused to generate certain types of images that, for example, avoid control of CSAM materials (sexual Child abuse material). The evolution of Dall-e. In January 2021, nobody probably paid too much attention to a news that we published in Xataka. An unknown OpenAi Dall-e presented at that timea model capable of generating images from a text prompt. In April 2022 Dall-e 2 would arrivebut in reality we all “click” in June of that year, when it was launched Dall-e 2 mini And we could all try that. And it was impressive. Images in Chatgpt. The new OpenAi in this area is not a theoretical Dall-E 4. instead what the company has presented is the so-called image generation integrated in its model GPT-4O. The announcement is important because it allows you to generate images directly within Chatgpt, but also do it with a quality clearly superior to that offered by Dall-E. Until the text generates well. One of the outstanding characteristics of this model is its ability to render text precisely: if you ask for an image with a certain text, that text will appear clearly, while in other models the text may appear distorted or illegible. According to Openai, the model takes advantage of “the inherent knowledge base of 4”. And more striking options. In Openai they also highlight how we also have the ability to generate in “multiturn”, that is, refine images from the previous ones. We can polish them or add new elements to the images with new PROMPTS. The understanding of the context, the quality of the photorealistic images – such as Marx – or even the generation of diagrams and graphs are other remarkable options of this image generation model. Activated water marks. There is an additional element of the model: all the images generated They include C2PA metadatathat is: they contain invisible “water marks” that allow to identify all these images as generated by GPT-4O. In Openai they even emphasize that they have created an internal search tool that allows us to use the technical attributes of the generations to verify if that content comes from their model. But it is still imperfect. The company’s own ones notice: the images may contain bulk and hallucinar errors, and the generation of text, especially with multi -mounted support, can end up offering meaningless texts. Who can use it. The image generation in 4o has already begun its deployment for users of Chatgpt plusPro, Team and even free accounts, and will soon reach Enterprise … Read more

The company specialized in immersive technology Infinite reality has won the fat prize: Napster It is now her property, after paying for her a price of 207 million dollars. And has ambitious plans: compete with the rest of the platforms of streaming contributing to the panorama one of the things that the company knows best, virtual concerts in 3D. Goodbye, old Napster. Any Internet user that combs gray hair (something that is detected, for example, in the use of the word “Internet user”) will remember the times of Napster, Soulseek and other primal P2P platforms. Napster was especially controversial for becoming a Turk’s head of the increasingly popular Internet of the beginning, and for facing a music industry that had not yet discovered how to obtain benefits from digital. Metallica, Madonna and Dr. Dre sued Napster in 2000, who had to declare himself in bankruptcy in 2002. Hello, new napster. The Napster brand lived different reincarnations And it has gone through very diverse hands. Perhaps the Best Buy technology store chain is the best known, although it did not last long under its wing: In 2011 he sold it to Rhapsodyanother platform of streaming that he was looking for an already known name to expand his business. In recent years, Napster has grown up as a service of streaming Legal, Spotify style: it is available in 34 countries and has a catalog of 110 million songs. Infinite reality arrives. The purchase of this company Specialized in immersive technology Its objective is to turn Napster into “a social music platform that prioritizes the active participation of fans on passive listening”, and with more accentuated social network dyes than in competitors such as Spotify: Napster will allow artists to “connect with their fans, as well as appropriate and monetize their relationship with them.” Some ideas that Infinite reality manages are the creation of official 3D virtual spaces for virtual concerts, premiere parties, sale of merchandising and entries and general attention to the public through artificial intelligence. Some doubts. Infinite reality entrance to the Napster business lands with its own list of doubts: the main one, how you plan to stand all these innovations on the platform, and if it makes sense. The creation of virtual spaces can be attractive to some users (and above all, for some investors), but also complex and strange for others. Recall that the current CEO of the company, Jon Vlassopulos, reached the position in 2022 after managing the part linked to the music industry of Robloxa millionaire company but whose attempts to create a massive cultural metavers They have not set at all. Are we facing a new chapter of “Llamazares in Second Life“ General obscurantism. There are even more doubts in the operation, not so practical. For example, the economic viability of the project: Infinite reality has raised three million dollars In an investment round, but it has not clarified where that money comes from. In addition, the implementation of AI and expanded reality are very ambitious and can run into the obstacle of adoption by the music industry, not characterized precisely by how quickly the turns of one hundred eighty degrees in the business (Napster’s primal history in the year 2000 is, in fact, the best example).

by

Let’s explain How to turn your Android mobile into a chromecastso that if you have an old one that you do not use you can give it a second life. Thus, in the event that you do not have Chromecast or intelligent TV with this function, you can give your TV to send content, and if your chromecast does not work, you can also get out of the way. Let’s start the article explaining you What are the requirements so that your mobile can become a Chromecast. And then, we will briefly explain how to proceed to connect it to the TV and make it fulfill that function. What are the requirements To convert your Android mobile into a chromect, you will need to support HDMI output, for which you will need that MHL standard support. This standard is now missing, but years ago you could find it with old high -end mobiles. To check if your mobile is compatible, you can use the app MHL vintor, Available on Google Play. You will also need your mobile to have an operating system equal to or above Android 4.1. In addition to this, you will need An OTG cable that passes from USB-C to HDMIto connect it to the USB-C charger of the mobile and that at the other end has an HDMI that you can connect to TV. These cables are not expensiveand can cost about 15 or 20 euros. But before throwing yourself, first check if you want to use MHL. Finally, what you need is Install the application Punishmentwhat can you download for free In the Google Play Store. In the link we have put the test version that only allows streaming for a few minutes.

Free remote access disappears after a decade and takes a worrying turn for its users

by

Plex has announced which will increase the price of your subscriptions and make your main free function into payment service: remote reproduction of personal content. The changes will take effect on April 29, marking the end of an era for millions of users who used the platform to access their multimedia libraries from anywhere without having to pay for it. Why is it important. This decision directly affects millions of users who have built domestic ecosystems based on the premise of being able to access their personal content from any location. The changes represent a total turn in the business model of Plex. The figures. Price increase is considerable: Monthly subscription: from $ 4.99 to $ 6.99 (+40%). Annual subscription: from $ 39.99 at $ 69.99 (+75%). Vitalicia subscription: from $ 119.99 to $ 249.99 (+108%). It is easy to read between the lines what Plex intends with these different increases: to promote the monthly to increase their monthly recurring income … and dissuade the life, or at least monetize it much more aggressive. There are alternatives. For those who see a reason here to migrate from Plex: Jellyfinopen and free source, without payment or telemetry functions. Embyversatile without too much complexity, with a free version robust. Kodiveteran customization. Stremiofocused on streaming from different sources. The current situation. Until now, Plex allowed its users to configure a domestic server and remotely access its content for free. This model has been the basis of the growth of the platform for more than a decade, which has become tremendously popular. The change. As of April 29, you will have two options if you want to continue accessing your remote content: That the server owner has a plex pass. In this case, all users who give access can continue to see content remotely. Hire the new “Remote Watch Pass” for $ 1.99 per month or 19.99 a year, which allows remotely accessing servers whose owners do not have plex pass. Between the lines. Plex justifies these changes alleging “growing costs” and the need to continue developing new functions. However, the decision comes at a time when they want to position themselves as a legitimate competitor in the saturated streaming market. The company has been incorporating new social and discovery functions during the last year, in addition to launching A store to rent movies and series. These movements are subtle signs of a strategy to become a complete streaming platform, beyond its original function as a personal media manager. As compensation, Plex will eliminate the limitation of one minute reproduction in its mobile applications and it will no longer be necessary to pay a unique activation fee to eliminate this restriction. And now what? If you are a plex user, you have until April 29 to buy a life subscription at the current price of $ 119.99, before it doubles. The current monthly and annual subscribers will see their rates increase, while those who already have a life subscription will not be affected. Content streaming in the same local network will remain free, as well as access to content with advertising offered by the platform.

Apple Intelligence is a “fire” for Apple. The firefighter chosen to turn it off is the chief of the vision pro

by

Apple has decided to replace the head of Siri and its strategy in AI after several months with delays and problems with Apple Intelligence. Mike Rockwell, until now head of the Vision Pro project, is the one who takes control of Siri to replace John Giannandreaas reported Bloomberg. Why is it important. This change reflects the concern to increase Apple for its position in the AI ​​race. Tim Cook would have “lost confidence” in Giannandrea after numerous delays in the development of promised functions during WWDC 2024, as Mark Gurman explained. Between bambalins. In a recent internal meeting, Giannandrea admitted to his team that the delays were “ugly” and recognized the shame and anger that this had generated among the staff. The uncertainty about the launch dates caused internal tensions that climbed up to Apple’s address. Apple He was strong for Apple Intelligence in his event for developers Nine months ago, but the implementation has been extremely slow. Just a few weeks ago they had to announce that The personalized functions of Siri postponed up to 2026one of the key pieces of your strategy. The context. AI is the new battlefield for great technological ones. While rivals like Microsoft, Google and OpenAi have taken giant steps with their assistants and generative models, Apple has lagged behind with a Siri that has barely evolved in years. A risky bet. Rockwell lacks specific experience in AI, but Apple, as published by Bloomberghas valued its ability to solve complex problems and bring new products to the market. As responsible for Vision Promanaged teams of thousands of people and managed to launch a revolutionary product to the market, despite the many obstacles that were on the road. It is inevitable to ask if the person responsible for a very complex product, but with discreet commercial impact in its first year in the market, is the ideal person to relaunch the strategy of a service that will reach hundreds of millions of devices and for which you have to work counterreloj. And now what? Rockwell will report to Craig Federight Aka ‘Pelazo’, Apple software head, while Paul Meade, who worked in hardware engineering for Vision Pro, will assume the direction of that department. Giannandrea will maintain other responsibilities in research of AI and robotics technologies, but without the focus on the day -to -day life of Apple Intelligence. In perspective. This movement underlines the difficulty that Apple is having to compete in AI without compromising its approach to privacy. Apple needs to balance innovation with its traditional perfectionism, something that is being especially complex in the field of generative AI. In fact, what was seen so far in Apple Intelligence (disastrous notificationsslow and mediocre results in image playground) It is from that perfectionism. Time will say if Rockwell’s experience in bringing complex products to the market will be enough to revitalize Siri and make Apple Intelligence become a competitive alternative to rivals such as ChatgPT or Google Gemini. But that is Apple’s new hope. It is that, or languish. In Xataka | The EU opens the iPhone by force: the European model will never be the same again Outstanding image | Apple

Sweden has managed to be 100% recyclable and turn its waste into energy. Spain follows it closely

by

More than 190 million tons annuls of urban waste are generated in Europe, according to The European Waste Association. This amount of garbage has increased greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. However, to deal with recycling is not enough, but some countries have found a way to generate energy. 100% recycled. One of those countries and precursor has been Sweden, which They have found In the incineration of waste an energy source, providing heating and electricity to 250,000 homes. Energy source. The data, provided by the Swedish state company VattenfallThey have indicated that only 1% of the trash ends in landfills; The rest becomes energy through the use of biomethane. Thanks to this energy source they can generate heating, electricity and even can be used as fuel for cars. In addition, the Swedish nation is importing the waste from other European countries to produce more energy. The process. Waste management in Sweden It is done In plants Waste-to-Energy (WTE). Once there they are divided into three categories. The first is the organic garbage that is transformed into biogas, compost and fertilizers. Then the plastics that end up recycling. Finally, all non -recyclable waste is incinerated at temperatures up to 850 ° C to generate electricity and heating. And in Spain? A recent report, which has had access Infobaesaid that the Spanish nation will not meet the waste management objectives established by 2025. In it they have stressed that the waste sector is responsible for 5% of greenhouse gas emissions. But are they taking action? The central government has proposed to implement A packaging system, in which citizens will receive a refund for recycling containers. For its part, the Valencian Community will reuse The waste and mud that left the Dana, and is studying the possibility of incinerating them to generate electricity. But there was not an ace under the sleeve … Spain has A great potential To develop the biomethane industry, a renewable gas similar to natural gas that can be stored and injected into the current network. However, as indicated Cecilia Carballo for Fifodiesthe country is behind other European countries in terms of facilities. However, there is a glimpse of hope if appropriate support is given, Spain could take advantage of its ability to produce up to 160 twh per year, which would cover 50% of the national natural gas demand. For this, a robust regulatory framework and policies that foster their development are necessary.

A declaration of intentions? What the closure of the APK tells about Spotify its sudden restrictive turn

by

Spotify was founded in 2006 and it has not been until 2024 that has managed to be profitable. He has had gusts with green -green quarter and others in red, but this year has been the year, in capital and bold. This is a great news for the company, undoubtedly, and a tremendous chance that is right now, in full bonanza, when you have decided to stop that … Countless call Spotify modified APK. And that is right now, in this context, it is a small Leave vu of something we have already lived. Spotify what? It is no secret that looking for the right words on the Internet, any user could reach a modified Spotify application. An fully functional and illegitimate app that, in a nutshell, eliminated one of the great restrictions of the Spotify free plan: choose what song to listen. 27 Spotify tricks – Control your whole music like nobody! As every free service user will know, non -subscribers can only listen to music in random. They cannot choose which song reproduce, but choose a list and let the random mode do their own. In addition, only the songs can jump a few times and, of course, they are forced to listen to advertising. The modified APK eliminated advertising, allowed to choose songs and jump the songs as many times as we would like. Spotify benefits and losses | Image: Xataka The end. And if we talk in the past it is because Spotify, abruptly, without prior notice and from one day to another, has decided to take action on the matter. From a stroke, it has made these modified applications stop working. That has caused the users who used them and look for alternatives, thus creating An excellent culture broth for cybercriminals. Spoiler: Download a modified Spotify application is synonymous with potential problems. Leave vu. Obviating that the use of this application breaches the terms and conditions of the service and the user agreement, it is still striking that this decision has been applied overnight. Spotify is in his entire right, there is plenty of saying, but it is the accumulation of situations and the precedents that attracts attention. Streaming platforms, starting with Netflix and then all the others, decided overnight end the shared accounts. The difference is that Netflix did it when it went through a pothole, while Spotify has decided to stop the modified APKs while on the wave crest. Spotify has 675 million users of which 263 million are paying. Surely the impact of the modified APK is minimal, but its blocking is 1) normal and 2) a possible declaration of intentions. Image: Fábio Alves in UNSPLASH What if Spotify is getting serious? Now that Spotify has managed to be profitable, perhaps he is thinking of putting the points on the ís to all those users who violate their service. Using a modified APK is a clear violation of the terms and conditions of use, so it was evident that this was going to happen sooner or later, but there is something else that is a common practice in the service and through which Spotify has only passed on tiptoe. The shared accounts. The melon of shared family accounts has been opened several times, but it has never finished solving. Spotify Let it clear that the family plan is for up to six family members who live in the same direction, but the reality is that the verification system It is easily drawable. Spotify only verifies the introduced address, but does not seem to follow up like the one that does, for example, Netflix. Spotify shared family accounts have long been in the peephole, but their misuse has been passed. At least for now Spotify can surely know without much problem that your “family” of “six members” is distributed between Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Seville and a colleague who is from Erasmus in Brussels although all, for practical purposes, live in the same direction as the administrator. He simply lets him be, and that will be so until Spotify decide to stop being. And maybe that moment is now a little closer being, in any case, a risky movement. Spotify is alone. Especially since Spotify is a service that depends entirely on subscriptions and advertising. Apple Music, Amazon Music or YouTube Music have behind companies that sell and/or offer other more lucrative products or services than the musical product itself. Spotify, however, does not have that support and play with the number of subscribers is more movie. Image | Pexels Although Netflix has been afraid. Although users put themselves on a war on social networks and ink rivers were written about it, The reality is that Netflix has been great His crusade against shared accounts and the free plan with advertising. 55% of the new highs bet on the cheap plan with ads and the end of shared accounts have made the platform reach 300 million subscribers. Perhaps the end of the modified APK is the beginning of a new stage in Spotify. One in which shared accounts are with relatives, and with no one; one with high definition sound (plan that does not finish arriving) and one in which, finally, streaming music is profitable. Or maybe not, but the background is what they are. Cover image | Cottonbro Studio In Xataka | The great surprise of the Pódcast is not that people are listening to them. Is that he is seeing them

Spain is importing a US tactic to empty deceased houses: turn them into temporary markets

by

Surely you will have seen dozens of times in American movies. Suddenly someone wants to empty a house for whatever reason, because it was the apartment of a freshly deceased relative, because he has to move or simply because he has realized that he has the attic upso organize a market in the house itself. It even has a name: Estate goes out. A kind of Wallapop face -to -face and dedicated to a single home in which everything is sold, from cutlery to shoes, passing through coats, furniture, pictures or crockery. More and more that image of the markets in houses is ceasing to be a Hollywood resource to become common (and helpful) in Spain. A house (and a market). Among vintage stores, normal rakes and households there is an intermediate point: “Housing markets”. His name says it all. They are houses that open to the public so that people can happen, browse what is inside and then decide if they want to take any of their objects, previously inventoried, priced in detail and labeled. From some golf sticks to a coat, a closet, a table, a lamp, a game of cups or skis. In the houses there is everything. In the Estate goes outalso. In fact, it is common to see in the US movies a variant that usually celebrated outdoors and organize the owners of the house with all kinds of articles rescued from the attic, the so -called Garage Saleseither Yard salts. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Objective: Empty houses. The goal is double: empty a house and find new owner to old objects. All of that of course prior payment of the amounts in which each article has been applied. There is no A single reason by which the emptying of a house is reached, although a usual reason is that its owner has died or will no longer live in it because it moves. When that happens, you have to think what to do with everything you leave behind, from furniture to clothes. After all, if any houses are deposits in which, over the years, memories and objects accumulate. With the former you can load, bad that. For the latter, something that does not always abound is needed: space. Question of moving … or deceased. “There is everything here. People who want to empty the floor because he inherited it from their grandparents and do not want to see their belongings in a garbage can and cases like this, which is a rental floor and its tenants must leave it,” I lightened recently to Commerce Marola Argüelles, from Vintage ordera firm of Home Market. While talking with the newspaper he organized a market in a house in Oviedo. “There are many reasons to empty a house”, Another company in the sector coincides. “From a trip for work to the other side of the world, to more sad reasons such as the houses of our elders or after a change in our family structure such as moving, a retirement or a divorce.” But are they celebrated in Spain? And so much. It comes with giving A lap By Google and Bavers the local press to find a good handful of examples. Throughout the last months, markets have been organized in homes in Oviedo, Lion, Seville either Madrid. And that to quote only a handful of cases. In the center of the capital, on Bravo Murillo Street, one was held in autumn that helps to better understand how and why this kind of Wallapops face -to -face and thematic. On that occasion the empty apartment, He recounts The SpanishHe had served a marriage. He already died. She, a woman over 90, lives in a residence. The goal of the market was to give a second life to the objects they had left on the floor: furniture, figures, garments, a sofa … the appointment attracted dozens of people, from curious to antiquers or an art seller to which to observe the objects in their environment. “It is not the same as in a market.” Who organizes it? Professionals who have found in the Estate goes out A business to explode in Spain. An example is Clear spacewhich describes his work of Simple form: “We empty your house, but before we take care of whatever you do not want, giving a second life and receiving money in return.” A few months ago the firm’s driver, Blanca de Carlos explained to The confidential that became familiar with this kind of markets in houses during the time he lived in the US. Already back to Spain and after the death of his father he realized the advantages that the service would have. Your signature is not the only one dedicated to emptying houses and organizing markets. Order architecture, The circular Market, Vintage order, Myhome, Antiquae, Antico Sevilla Interiors… They are businesses with a similar approach and that facilitate the emptying of houses and the organization of markets in the house itself to prevent those furniture, clothing and objects in general that they no longer want (or can have) their owners end up in a container, the clean point or a storage point. The art of emptying. The details of each case may vary, but it is common for emptying work and markets Visit system Concerted to avoid agglomerations, the pieces are recorded and tasan and the company that manages the appointments is carried A percentage of all sales. The objective, companies recognize, is that there is “nothing without selling” in homes, so the prices that can usually be affordable.

In an unexpected turn of events, Apple TV+ has reached Android. It is a necessary movement

by

In an unexpected turn of events, Apple TV has officially landed on Android. Since its launch in 2021, the platform had been exclusive to Apple and, although we paid the subscription, it was only possible to reproduce the contents on Apple devices. There was only one exception: Google TV. As of today, Apple TV is available on Google Play Store, so you can download on Android devices (tablets and mobile phones). Thus, it will be possible to subscribe to the Apple TV+ service from these devices. Apple needed this movement, a lot. Available in Play Store. Apple TV in Play Store, see to believe. The app can be downloaded for free, allowing APPLE TV+subscription. It is available for all devices with Android 10 or higher, and has practically the same basic functions of the app that we find on Apple devices. The main difference is that, in Apple TV for Android, purchases or rentals that we have active through iTunes Store will not be shown. This simplifies the design of the app, optimized for tablets and mobiles. Apple needs scale, no exclusivity. Apple likes that its products are within its ecosystem but, like every company, it needs its products to generate money. Apple TV+ has been facing a few storms and temporary for years, and increasing the number of users seems essential to clean up the situation. 1,000 million a yearthis is the figure that Apple was willing to spend on films that wanted to take cinemas, Like Napoleon. Failures like ‘Argylle’ Nor did they help, an ambitious comedy blockbuster who failed to reap hubble successes. Apple TV remains a very minority platform, to the point of having less viewed a month than Netflix in one day. The translation? Production cuts, Price increases of subscriptions, and Little optimistic numbers. Bad times for streaming. The streaming economy It is broken. The current race is to maintain a audience without this platform migration, and bring Apple TV to Android is precisely Apple’s plan for users to start migrating from other platforms. Shown that The price increase is not as harmful as it could be thoughtthis movement in search of the mass public is the logical and necessary for Apple. Moment of aiming the date and starting counting until next year, to check whether or not the strategy has felt.

Sam Altman had a plan to turn Openai into a For-Profit. Elon Musk’s megaoferta will complicate it a lot

by

A group of inversones, at the head of which is Elon Musk, has made An offer of 97.4 billion dollars to buy the non -profit organization (Nonprofit) that OpenAi controls. We have a new soap opera in sight, but this time the story has a lot of crumb. Altman and Musk, confronted. Sam Altman published a message in x mocking the offer: “No thanks but we will buy Twitter for 9,740 million dollars if you want,” making it clear that for them Twitter (x) has very little value. Musk in turn answered that message In X calling Altman “scammer.” How much OpenAi is worth? A few months ago Openai completed a colossal financing round of 6,600 million dollars. According to experts, that made the company’s valuation grow then Up to 157,000 million dollars. But maybe that is not the question, as we will see later. And SoftBank wants to invest a mockery. In recent days Data have appeared according to which softbank would invest A unusual 40,000 million dollars In Openai, which would fire the valuation of the company even more, up to 260,000 million dollars. Musk’s offer therefore seems low. Probable objective: complicate Altman’s life. It does not seem therefore probable that the offer progresses, but analysts say that the reason is another. Sam Altman is trying to have Openai ceases to be a nonprofit to be a conventional for profit courage (Forprofit), But that transition is complex. A complex structure. To “separate” from the nonprofit part, Altman and his team must compensate for the nonprofit agency that controls it compensation, or giving a minority participation in the company. As they point out In The New York TimesOpenAI has more than 2,000 employees, but the NGO that controls it has only two employees and 22 million dollars of cash. What Musk wants is precisely to buy the NGO to have legal control over OpenAI that this nonprofit agency exercises right now. How much is the Nonprofit? That can be the key question. This body has not been given an assessment although some They estimate the value of about 40,000 million dollars. That is precisely what Elon Musk wants to force to do with this offer. The purchase proposal could force the part Forprofit of Openai to spend more to achieve its independence from the Nonprofit and complete that desired transition by Sam Altman. An offer with a lot. Analysts like Sheel Mohnot indicate that OpenAI should give the nonprofit a 25% participation to ced Nonprofit It would be approximately 65,000 million. Again, much less than what Musk offers, which can complicate things to Altman when establishing the fair Market Value (FMV, fair market assessment) of the Nonprofit. War for AI. After Donald Trump’s power in January, the re -elected president of the United States supported the Stargate project To invest 500,000 million dollars in multiple data centers for AI in the country. Trump described the initiative as “the largest infrastructure project in history, from afar.” Openai and Softbank are the main value of such an initiative, which by the way, Musk criticized. That may have been a small blow to the now almost idyllic relationship between Trump and Musk. And war between Musk and Altman. Elon Musk sued Altman and Openai In August 2024, and for a long time he tries to compete with OpenAi through his startup XAI. The tycoon has already completed investment rounds that value their startup at 50,000 million dollars (more than Ford), and has a data center and a Gigantic Supercomputer, Colossus. The tension between Alman and Musk comes from afar: both are co -founders of OpenAi, but Musk got too soon. And meanwhile, where is Grok 3? The offer contrasts with a situation in which Xai, despite all its resources, does not seem to advance to the rhythm that its US competitors or China. The output of Deepseek R1 It has caused a new impulse in the market, especially in the reasoning models, but in Xai they seem to work in Grok 3, an evolution of their traditional chatbot. There is no news about whether they have a Deepseek R1 competitor and OPENAI O1but not if they are working on their own alternatives to AI agents as Operatorfrom OpenAi.
