The Battle for OpenAI's Soul I 5th May

from Build by AI

Picture this: Elon Musk and Sam Altman sitting across from each other in an Oakland courtroom, fighting over the future of the world's most famous AI company. This isn't just corporate drama - it's a battle that could reshape how artificial intelligence gets built and controlled. We break down week one of the blockbuster trial, the ominous text messages that came to light, and what it all means for OpenAI, ChatGPT, and the rest of us. Plus: a massive $950 million funding round and why the government might start reviewing AI models before they launch.
