ELON MUSK SAYS “DIGITAL GOD” WILL MAKE AI COPYRIGHT LAWSUITS IRRELEVANT

The billionaire mogul also claimed that OpenAI was lying about its training
methods, but interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin may have flubbed the question.

Elon Musk made some of his boldest claims yet concerning the future of
artificial intelligence (AI) during an interview with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin.

During a wide-ranging interview, Musk responded to questions concerning recent
lawsuits levied against some of the billionaire’s competitors in the AI space
related to alleged copyright infringement.

“So, you think it’s a lie,” Sorkin asked Musk during the interview, “when OpenAI
says that… none of these guys say that they’re training on copyrighted data.”

Musk’s response, “Yeah, that’s a lie.”


ELON MUSK’S DIGITAL GOD

It’s unclear what Sorkin meant by his query, as OpenAI has testified in court to
the effect that it does train models on copyrighted material. It is the
company’s stance, however, that doing so constitutes “fair use” under United
States law.

Under further prodding from Sorkin, Musk dismissed the efficacy of the lawsuits
by claiming that a “digital god” would make the copyright lawsuits irrelevant:

> “I don’t know, except to say that by the time these lawsuits are decided,
> we’ll have digital god. So, you can ask digital god at that point. Um. These
> lawsuits won’t be decided on a timeframe that’s relevant.”


ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE

Assuming that Musk is referring to a digital god appearing within the next three
to five years, the average time it takes for a class action lawsuit to conclude,
this indicates that the mogul believes that such an entity is not only imminent
but will have powers far beyond human control.

Musk has, in the past, claimed that Google co-founder Larry Page wanted to build
a “digital god,” and he’s told both Meta AI boss Yann LeCun and United Kingdom
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that “our digital god is a .CSV file.”



It appears Musk is referencing the idea of a superhuman intelligence, usually
referred to as an “artificial general intelligence,” or AGI. While there’s no
standard accepted definition of an AGI, it stands to reason that an entity
capable of rendering the U.S. court system irrelevant in a matter of three to
five years would sufficiently qualify as an AGI construct. And, arguably, such
an entity would be well beyond human control.

Musk previously predicted that AGI would arrive before 2030, an estimate many
industry experts disputed as overly optimistic.

New York University professor and best-selling author of Rebooting AI Gary
Marcus and a host of other AI experts challenged Musk to a $500,000 bet on the
matter, with the proceeds to go to charity, with their position being that AI
would not arrive by 2030. Musk has, so far, declined to respond to the offer.

BINANCE VIP TRADERS GOT SNEAK PEEK OF US SETTLEMENT: REPORT

At an exclusive dinner in Singapore, certain Binance executives reportedly told
traders about the pending settlement with U.S. officials, allowing the exchange
to stay in business.

Executives of cryptocurrency exchange Binance reportedly gave a heads-up to its
top market makers regarding a potential $4.3-billion settlement with authorities
in the United States.

According to a Dec. 1 Bloomberg report, Binance traders at an exclusive
September dinner in Singapore were informed about a tentative deal the crypto
exchange had with U.S. officials — roughly two months before the details were
made public. Some Binance executives reportedly told certain traders at the
event that the exchange could easily afford the $4.3-billion penalty to stay in
business.

Then Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao was reportedly not in attendance at the
event, but Richard Teng, who succeeded Zhao following the settlement, was
mingling with guests. A Binance spokesperson reportedly said the depiction of
the VIP event was inaccurate but declined to identify which aspects were wrong,
according to Bloomberg.

According to Teng’s posts on X (formerly Twitter) from September, the then head
of regional markets was in Singapore for the Token2049 conference, the Milken
Institute Asia Summit, the Singapore Grand Prix for Formula 1 and “plenty of
side events.” Cointelegraph will release an exclusive interview with the Binance
CEO at 6:00 pm UTC on Dec. 3.

As part of its settlement, Binance must pay $4.3 billion to various U.S.
authorities and regulators, with CZ personally responsible for paying $150
million to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Zhao was still out on
bail in the U.S. at the time of publication, as a court considered his request
to return to the United Arab Emirates before sentencing in February.

Though the settlement largely settles many of Binance’s legal troubles in the
U.S., the exchange Binance.US and Zhao still face a lawsuit filed by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission in June. A group of investors has also filed
suit against soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo for his role in promoting Binance
nonfungible tokens (NFTs), allegedly unregistered securities.
