Greg Brockman: "100% agreed. We think the path must be: 1. AI research non-profit (through end of 2017) 2. AI research + hardware for-profit (starting 2018) 3. Government project (when: ??) Government project is helpful for financial resources, but crucial for security — don't know how to defend against Putin or North Korea otherwise. When ready, we must proactively form the project around us, rather than being slurped in against our will."

Elon Musk (responding to a NYT article on China's 2030 AI ambitions): "They will do whatever it takes to obtain what we develop. Maybe another reason to change course."

Elon Musk (separately, to the founding team): "By the way, in appreciation for what you've done to get OpenAI to where it is today, I would like to give you each a Founder Series Model 3. These are the earliest cars produced and are not available to the public. If there are a few others at OpenAI who you think also really deserve one (maybe Wojciech?), I am happy to do the same for them."

Ilya Sutskever: "Wow, thank you! This is a very kind gesture that we greatly appreciate. Yes, Wojciech definitely deserves it as much as we do, as does John Schulman."

Elon Musk: "Consider it done! Jared, please facilitate. Let's try to slot these four cars into next month's production."

Jared Birchall: "Will do. Guys — I'll reach out separately with details."
