The Manifesto

from AI On Trial: Sam Vs. Elon & The Future of Silicon Valley · host Frontier Media

The episode where we read the documents aloud. The OpenAI Charter's four founding tenets — verbatim from the court's summary-judgment order. The April 26, 2026 "Our Principles" post that articulates a narrower set of commitments — published the day before jury selection. And the September 2017 email Brockman and Sutskever sent Sam Altman: "We don't understand your cost function. Is AGI truly your primary motivation?"
