#AI in Business Development

[lunar-inkclipse]

One exam down, two to go before finals, but I'm tired and worried about how I did so Murdle Become Human fluffy headcanons be upon ye!! Gonna envision happy, fluffy things to help calm the soul you feel me. the only thing crashing is Logico's software not me!!!!!!

After deviating, Logico picks up a fair assortment of hobbies (especially puzzles and cooking, things he does with assistance from his more analytical programs and just on his own), but the first one he really took to was reading. Not just downloading books in minutes, if not seconds, and having their entire wordcount logged in his memory, no. Really reading, borrowing Irratino's wide collection of paperbacks, processing each word and sentence one at a time, feeling paper underneath his fingers and smoothly sliding one of Irratino's many assorted bookmarks at the start of a new chapter and closing it with a soft thud. Before he really figures out sleep (aka, being in stasis while sharing a bed with Irratino), he whittled away hours while Irratino slept by sitting in the arm chair next to his bed, finger underneath the words he read to keep him from reading too fast as he works through everything from high brow classics to cheesy romance to mysteries (ofc by our girl Obsidian) to adventure. I think he likes classics the most- He likes the way they act as a time capsule to the past. It sparks his imagination on what it would be like so long ago, with technology so primitive.

I feel like in this AU, Irratino is actually rather suave in his attempts to flirt with Logico- The only problem is, he is using his flirting on the worlds most oblivious man. He'll be like "It's rather hot in here, isn't it?" and undo the top button or two on his shirt, leaning forward slightly, and Logico just says "It's exactly 72 degrees Fahrenheit, typically regarded as an optimal room temperature. If you are uncomfortable, I can adjust the thermostat." The thing is, Logico understands flirting and romance in the same way he understands everything else emotional- In a vague, abstract way, more of concepts than anything, especially at first. He can detect signs of attraction- Dilated pupils, elevated heart rate, sweaty palms- But it doesn't make logical sense Irratino would like him like that, so he rules that out as an option. Until, of course, he accepts the inherent irrationality of romance and fondness.

Expanding off that last point, it's absolutely adorable when Logico does not only start to get Irratino is flirting with him (Sure, he can't blush, but he sure as hell can act bashful by hiding his face or tugging on his tie or fidgeting. It's adorable, really, seeing six feet of a perfectly constructed hunter turn shy and awkward), he starts to reciprocate. Does he have any rizz, as the kids say? Absolutely not. He's completely going in blind and using the worst pickup lines and fumbling so bad. But the authenticity is what is endearing. And eventually, he settles into complements and banter with an enamored soft smile.

And expanding off the point above, Logico's learning how to love with Irratino, including how to express it. The easiest way for him to show his love is to just be there with Irratino however he can be- Helping him, listening to him, just sharing space and energy. It takes time for him to really warm up to verbalizing affection (At first, because that would be admitting he feels when he's not supposed to, and then because he's not sure how to vocalize something he feels so deeply and strongly). He wasn't built to be held or loved, either, so he's a bit self conscious about hugs and other physical affections. So he does everything he can to help care for Irratino in whatever way he can. (Irratino shows his affection rather prominently with words and gestures and touch, opposite to Logico's more subtle conveyances, but he's quite assured in Logico's care. It shows in a thousand little ways)

I will say though, an exception to this rule is kissing, from a hello/goodbye peck on the cheek, a playful kiss on the knuckles, a slower kiss on the lips, whatever the mood calls for. Logico and Irratino are both rather fond of that display of affection for different reasons. For Irratino, it's because he's a sap, he adores the way it makes Logico get bashful as he processes, and it just feels nice, plain and simple. For Logico, it's a sense of closeness due to the romantic, human intimacy of the reaction, but just like Connor in the DBH canon, Logico can also pick up data with his mouth. (Look, can I really have a Connor stand in without that?) So yes, not only with Logico occasionally put evidence to his lips to get information (Look, it's a very funny mental image of android Logico, scruffy with RBF and 6'0 and built ford tough pulling Connor's evidence analysis). Anyways, all this to say that kissing would provide information on Irratino, from last meal to his mood to his health. It's a way for him to check in, y'know?

Cuddling Logico is...interesting, to say the least. He was built to take a beating and put up a fight. Six feet tall and every inch is made of carbon fiber, plastics, and metals. Does that deter Irratino? Nope! Sure, Logico has none of the give of a human partner, synthetic skin only having a hint of pliancy and softness, but that's fine. Irratino just tosses an arm and a leg over him and, if he does want to rest his head on Logico, puts a thin between his head and Logico's body- Hey, there are some perks to your boyfriend not being able to have pins and needles in his arm if you sleep on it. Plus, Irratino can faintly feel the mechanical hum of all of Logico's components, and it's rather soothing in how it's almost like a heartbeat.

In the same vein, Logico is very strong in more ways than one. Not only is he strong enough to take quite a few hits (cue metal pipe falling sound effect), he's strong enough to do quite a bit of heavy lifting- Which includes one esoteric inspector, of course! Does he run into situations where he needs to carry Irratino often? Well. Logico knows that Irratino is faking having fallen asleep on the couch, but he knows Irratino surely knows so he lets the charade give him an excuse to tuck him into bed.

Logico has absolutely tried to subconsciously interface with Irratino, more than once. (Interfacing is a form of android to android communication, where they transfer memories and information through touch) The first time, he didn't even realize he was doing it- He was just recounting a memory to Irratino and then Irratino asked why the synthetic skin on his hand was gone and revealing his chassis. Even before he deviated, it seems he wanted to share that connection with Irratino and let him into his mind <3

Y'all know how Connor likes dogs??? Well, Logico is rather fond of cats. Idk if Irratino has one or if there's just the Institute Cat everyone cares for, but Logico is very, very fond of his eventual feline friend. I think even before he deviated, he was at the institute and the cat just sat in his lap and Logico was just like "well, it would be rude to move." even if it wasn't very productive. Also said cat is either the most orange cat to ever be seen or a tuxedo.

Logico has rather complicated feelings about the Marot (Thanks, Amethyst/MORIARTY. Irratino called him "my dear" once as a pet name, not knowing Amethyst used that too, only for Logico to stiffen and his LED to flash red. Irratino never used it again). He's unsure of how much stake he puts into them- It seems like nonsense, but apparently it had been influencing him for so long without him realizing, so to discount it entirely just feels too complicated. But it turns out Logico is rather fond of stargazing- He may not find messages in the constellations in the same way Irratino can, but he likes being under the stars with Irratino, cataloguing constellations in his head and listening to Irratino talk.

Artificial Intelligence is more than just a buzzword—it's a powerful force shaping the way we work, live, and connect. As businesses and professionals navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape, AI integration has become not only an advantage but a necessity. From automating repetitive tasks to streamlining communication, AI is transforming the workplace—and now is the time to plug in.

What Is AI Integration?

AI integration refers to the process of embedding intelligent technology into your current systems and workflows. Instead of replacing human effort, it enhances capabilities by analysing data, learning patterns, and optimising operations in real-time. For professionals and organisations alike, this means better decisions, faster execution, and improved customer experiences.

Why Embrace AI Today?

Here’s how AI integration is making a difference across industries:

Improved Efficiency

With AI handling time-consuming tasks like email filtering, data analysis, and scheduling, teams can focus on what truly matters—innovation and human connection.

Smarter Decisions

 AI can process huge amounts of information quickly, offering insights that help businesses make better, data-backed choices.

Digital Strength

Today’s digital-first world demands a solid online presence. AI tools play a major role in Digital Presence Management, from optimising search visibility to curating consistent social media content.

Personal Branding 

Professionals and entrepreneurs are increasingly using AI-powered personal branding tools to craft compelling bios, automate content creation, and engage with audiences more effectively.

B2B Strategy

In a competitive market, B2B branding strategy supported by AI helps teams personalise outreach, understand client behaviour, and build stronger relationships.

OpenAI counter-sues Elon Musk for attempts to ‘take down’ AI rival

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/openai-counter-sues-elon-musk-for-attempts-to-take-down-ai-rival/

OpenAI counter-sues Elon Musk for attempts to ‘take down’ AI rival

OpenAI has launched a legal counteroffensive against one of its co-founders, Elon Musk, and his competing AI venture, xAI.

In court documents filed yesterday, OpenAI accuses Musk of orchestrating a “relentless” and “malicious” campaign designed to “take down OpenAI” after he left the organisation years ago.

Elon’s nonstop actions against us are just bad-faith tactics to slow down OpenAI and seize control of the leading AI innovations for his personal benefit. Today, we counter-sued to stop him.

— OpenAI Newsroom (@OpenAINewsroom) April 9, 2025

The court filing, submitted to the US District Court for the Northern District of California, alleges Musk could not tolerate OpenAI’s success after he had “abandoned and declared [it] doomed.”

OpenAI is now seeking legal remedies, including an injunction to stop Musk’s alleged “unlawful and unfair action” and compensation for damages already caused.   

Origin story of OpenAI and the departure of Elon Musk

The legal documents recount OpenAI’s origins in 2015, stemming from an idea discussed by current CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman to create an AI lab focused on developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) – AI capable of outperforming humans – for the “benefit of all humanity.”

Musk was involved in the launch, serving on the initial non-profit board and pledging $1 billion in donations.   

However, the relationship fractured. OpenAI claims that between 2017 and 2018, Musk’s demands for “absolute control” of the enterprise – or its potential absorption into Tesla – were rebuffed by Altman, Brockman, and then-Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever. The filing quotes Sutskever warning Musk against creating an “AGI dictatorship.”

Following this disagreement, OpenAI alleges Elon Musk quit in February 2018, declaring the venture would fail without him and that he would pursue AGI development at Tesla instead. Critically, OpenAI contends the pledged $1 billion “was never satisfied—not even close”.   

Restructuring, success, and Musk’s alleged ‘malicious’ campaign

Facing escalating costs for computing power and talent retention, OpenAI restructured and created a “capped-profit” entity in 2019 to attract investment while remaining controlled by the non-profit board and bound by its mission. This structure, OpenAI states, was announced publicly and Musk was offered equity in the new entity but declined and raised no objection at the time.   

OpenAI highlights its subsequent breakthroughs – including GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4 – achieved massive public adoption and critical acclaim. These successes, OpenAI emphasises, were made after the departure of Elon Musk and allegedly spurred his antagonism.

The filing details a chronology of alleged actions by Elon Musk aimed at harming OpenAI:   

Founding xAI: Musk “quietly created” his competitor, xAI, in March 2023.   

Moratorium call: Days later, Musk supported a call for a development moratorium on AI more advanced than GPT-4, a move OpenAI claims was intended “to stall OpenAI while all others, most notably Musk, caught up”.   

Records demand: Musk allegedly made a “pretextual demand” for confidential OpenAI documents, feigning concern while secretly building xAI.   

Public attacks: Using his social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Musk allegedly broadcast “press attacks” and “malicious campaigns” to his vast following, labelling OpenAI a “lie,” “evil,” and a “total scam”.   

Legal actions: Musk filed lawsuits, first in state court (later withdrawn) and then the current federal action, based on what OpenAI dismisses as meritless claims of a “Founding Agreement” breach.   

Regulatory pressure: Musk allegedly urged state Attorneys General to investigate OpenAI and force an asset auction.   

“Sham bid”: In February 2025, a Musk-led consortium made a purported $97.375 billion offer for OpenAI, Inc.’s assets. OpenAI derides this as a “sham bid” and a “stunt” lacking evidence of financing and designed purely to disrupt OpenAI’s operations, potential restructuring, fundraising, and relationships with investors and employees, particularly as OpenAI considers evolving its capped-profit arm into a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). One investor involved allegedly admitted the bid’s aim was to gain “discovery”.   

Based on these allegations, OpenAI asserts two primary counterclaims against both Elon Musk and xAI:

Unfair competition: Alleging the “sham bid” constitutes an unfair and fraudulent business practice under California law, intended to disrupt OpenAI and gain an unfair advantage for xAI.   

Tortious interference with prospective economic advantage: Claiming the sham bid intentionally disrupted OpenAI’s existing and potential relationships with investors, employees, and customers. 

OpenAI argues Musk’s actions have forced it to divert resources and expend funds, causing harm. They claim his campaign threatens “irreparable harm” to their mission, governance, and crucial business relationships. The filing also touches upon concerns regarding xAI’s own safety record, citing reports of its AI Grok generating harmful content and misinformation.

Elon’s never been about the mission. He’s always had his own agenda. He tried to seize control of OpenAI and merge it with Tesla as a for-profit – his own emails prove it. When he didn’t get his way, he stormed off.

Elon is undoubtedly one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our…

— OpenAI Newsroom (@OpenAINewsroom) April 9, 2025

The counterclaims mark a dramatic escalation in the legal battle between the AI pioneer and its departed co-founder. While Elon Musk initially sued OpenAI alleging a betrayal of its founding non-profit, open-source principles, OpenAI now contends Musk’s actions are a self-serving attempt to undermine a competitor he couldn’t control.

With billions at stake and the future direction of AGI in the balance, this dispute is far from over.
