OpenAI's Advocacy Challenges, Project Stargate, and ChatGPT Updates

E74 • Apr 9, 2025 • 13 mins

In this episode, we begin with an introduction and overview, setting the stage for an in-depth discussion on OpenAI's recent transition and the advocacy concerns it faces amidst an Attorney General's investigation. We delve into OpenAI's lobbying efforts and the unveiling of a new open-source model, examining its potential implications for the industry. The episode explores competitive dynamics in AI, focusing on Project Stargate's role. We also cover the new ChatGPT watermark feature and VAT registration developments in Uzbekistan. The impact of AkiraBot’s AI-driven spam campaign is analyzed, concluding with reflections on these developments and their broader implications.

Key Points

  • California labor and nonprofit organizations are urging the Attorney General to ensure OpenAI maintains its pledge to benefit humanity as it transitions from a nonprofit to a for-profit model.
  • OpenAI is planning to release its first open source model since GPT-2, influenced partly by competition from Chinese company DeepSeek's open source model, R1.
  • OpenAI is considering adding a watermark to images created by free users of ChatGPT, a strategic move that could push users towards its paid version.
