TL;DR anyone? The filing takes an ungodly amount of time to load and the server might croak under HN pressure.

I'd upload the PDF of the complaint, but it's 55 MB for some reason which will kill the bandwidth of any free-sharing service.

  I was looking for a place to upload it as well. Edit: I would mirror it on one of my sites, but all my sites are pay-per-gb for bandwidth.

  > it's 55 MB for some reason Because it has 280 pages of newspaper articles and white papers about OpenAI, ChatGPT, and other startups attached to it as exhibits, many of which are only tangentially related to the case.

    Even if it's mostly rich text, it's still text. PDF embedding is funny.

Multiple claims, all related to 'fraud'. Claims that OpenAI is committing fraud because they are a for-profit disguised as a non-profit, for example.

  There's some pretty kooky claims and generally bizarre statements buried in the filing, such as: * "Altman and the other parties to this suit are increasing the risk of global human extinction or actual world domination by a small set of individuals for a chance to personally gain extended lifespans. It is the reasonable explanation for taking such massive risks with this technology and flaunting the law so obviously." * "OpenAI and at least one of its partners most likely filled social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit with politically charged commentary designed to push votes towards the Democrat party." (And no, the filing doesn't provide any substantial evidence for this assertion.) * "Y Combinator is, according to ChatGPT, the most notable Tech Accelerator in the world. A screenshot of ChatGPT-3.5 stating this is included as Exhibit L." * "Open-source and closed-source, not-for-profit and for-profit, are binary choices, or Booleans. Booleans are a form of data with only two possible values, which are typically opposites. When defendants drastically changed the Boolean values that structure [OpenAI]... the founding mission went from ‘true’ to ‘false.’"

    I was going to give you a hard time for the pejorative "kooky", but it turns out you were being generous and charitable.

    > There's some pretty kooky claims and generally bizarre statements buried in the filing, Sure, but the kooky claims are mostly tangential to the identified causes of action except the fourth, and they aren’t the sole basis for that one, so they have marginal bearing on the overall suit.

  Would these people even have standing for that claim?

Without irony, here's ChatGPT's summary: This legal complaint alleges that defendants operating a non-profit entity for the benefit of humanity have committed massive fraud on donors, beneficiaries, and the public. The complaint raises concerns about OpenAI's operation, including its dual structure as a non-profit and a for-profit entity, potential insider dealings, and the exclusion of the general public from its benefits. It claims that OpenAI has used deceptive advertising, unfair competition, and fraud to develop its valuable resource for personal gain. The complaint highlights OpenAI's mission of benefiting humanity and points out that a narrow group of stakeholders have received commercially invaluable early access to its technology. It also argues that OpenAI's for-profit operations might infringe on copyright and fair use laws, as the technology is built on large datasets, much of which is copyrighted. It accuses OpenAI of breaching trust and fiduciary duties, disrupting legal frameworks, and potentially engaging in willful and wanton negligence by increasing existential risks related to AI. Finally, the complaint alleges that OpenAI might have engaged in banned political activities, specifically suggesting that the technology may have been used to influence the 2020 US presidential election in favor of the Democratic party.

  How would ChatGPT summarize something that just happened? It's not real time?
  - blihp 3y ago
    You just copy/paste the text of the complaint (this is why you hear many complaining about maximum context size... for some use cases you want to feed in a lot of text)

    You can copy/paste part of the summary of the complaint. 4k tokens is a lot to work with.

  Wow, that's the most useful ChatGPT summary I've ever come across. I've never found it particularly useful for most articles which are easy enough to read/skim (the first and last 2 paragraphs will usually tell you what you need), but long complicated legal documents are a whole other matter. This is great.

  How did you compress it? Gzipping the 52 MB PDF just shrinks it to 51 MB. You got it to 6.4 and kept it PDF.
