Musk vs Altman $130B trial begins

This "AI Trial of the Century" is a high-stakes battle over whether the industry's leader can remain a for-profit powerhouse.

• –A judgment against Altman could force the open-sourcing of core GPT models, effectively nuking OpenAI's commercial moat.
• –The trial puts the Microsoft-OpenAI partnership under intense legal scrutiny, risking the tech world's most valuable alliance.
• –Personal "dirt" from 2017 negotiations, including Burning Man references, suggests a scorched-earth defense strategy.
• –The outcome will set a definitive precedent for how nonprofit-to-for-profit conversions are handled in Silicon Valley.
