Elon Musk Just Exposed OpenAI's Biggest Secret in Court

Can you legally steal a charity? That’s the question before a federal court in Oakland right now, and the people on trial are some of the most powerful names in artificial intelligence. Elon Musk spent three days on the stand this week, and the judge was already issuing warnings before the jury was even seated. What started as a scrappy 2015 nonprofit with a mission to share AI with the world has turned into a legal battle involving billions of dollars, private diaries, and allegations of deception at the highest levels of the industry. And the timing could not be more uncomfortable for OpenAI.CHAPTERS00:00 Can you steal a charity?
