Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI heads to trial as jury selection starts
Jury selection has begun in a California federal trial where Elon Musk accuses OpenAI of abandoning the nonprofit charter he helped establish in 2015. Musk's complaint says OpenAI converted into a commercial company behind ChatGPT and other AI products, channeling value to investors and executives rather than preserving a mission-driven nonprofit structure. The dispute centers on whether OpenAI's governance changes violated its founding agreements and what remedies the court can impose. A ruling for Musk would set a legal precedent on how hybrid AI labs balance charitable charters with venture funding across the tech industry.

Elon Musk and the Trump admin are suing to block Colorado’s first-in-the-nation AI anti-discrimination law. The DOJ has joined a suit filed by Musk's xAI against a Colorado law that aims to regulate “high-risk” AI systems and protect consumers from algorithmic discrimination.

A Horse of Course10Twitter (part of SpaceX, a company my taxes go to) generates child SAM. They should have no rights to bring any legal action forward or receive federal assistance and contracts while generating CSAM.
epicgratuity7What can one expect from an industry whose leaders publish openly fascist and racist manifestos.
Rebecca R Helm5Do you have a link to the story by chance?
Timlagor2There is no Ai. I really hope they frame it carefully because this is the system that let Fox News win on the basis that they aren't a News channel. Anything coming out of the Algorithms should already be covered as the company doing things.
Jury selection in the Elon Musk v. Sam Altman/OpenAI case is complicated by the fact that potential jurors have a negative view of AI and Elon Musk:

darkglade.bsky.social6Can we just have them do an old fashioned duel at sunrise? Then there'd be at least one less of them afterwards at least...
