How the Bromance Between Elon Musk and Sam Altman Turned Toxic As Altmanโs profile in Silicon Valley rose, he tried to focus tech-industry attention on AIโs potential. In 2014, on his personal blog, he referred to AI as potentially โthe biggest development in technology ever.โ Days later, he was appointed to lead Y Combinator, the startup accelerator that had funded Dropbox and Airbnbโand later, OpenAI itself. Like Musk, Altman also worried about the technologyโs dangers. In February 2015, he wrote that AI was โprobably the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity.โ In late 2018, Musk sent an email to Altman, Brockman and Sutskever predicting OpenAIโs eventual failure. โMy probability assessment of OpenAI being relevant to DeepMind/Google without a dramatic change in execution and resources is 0%,โ Musk wrote, according to the blog post. Altman told his team, "Benefiting humanity shouldn't clash with business. I miss the old Elon."
