The addition of Ashton Eaton and Brianne Theisen-Eaton, two olympic athletes with no obvious ties to this, struck me as interesting. Does anyone have any insight to that?
They are being added as donors, not advisors, right? So some rich people with interest in AI decided to support OpenAI, it seems.
Cool. Judging from his statements, he has very limited knowledge of the current state-of-the-art in AI. Because he is a great entrepreneur, has knowledge of other domains, people think he must know what he is saying about AI too. Edit: Original title had Elon Musk on it. My comment refers to him.
"Additionally, Elon Musk will depart the OpenAI Board but will continue to donate and advise the organization. As Tesla continues to become more focused on AI, this will eliminate a potential future conflict for Elon."
Bit of a nitpick, I read this sentence a few times because it sounded a little confusing, but shouldn't that be: "but will continue to donate to, and advise the organization..." rather than just "to donate and advise..." sounds like he's donating OpenAI to someone. I'm unsure.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What kind of AI solutions would Tesla work on, aside from automated driving software?
Do you need any more? "automated driving software" is a pretty big umbrella.

How exactly did the Eaton's become rich? I didn't realize there was that much money in running, unless you are someone like Usain Bolt and have endorsement deals.

"to donate to" would be more correct, but very likely, a prickly editor said "YOU ENDED YOUR CLAUSE WITH A PREPOSITION, BE GONE WITH YOU!" and deleted the 'to'.

Likewise, I'm tired of hearing about what Bill Gates thinks about such and such big problem. Just because he was clever at manipulative business dealings pushing 2nd rate OSes and milking billions from tax players, doesn't mean he knows much about anything else.
