Overview
- Elon Musk filed a case that seeks $130 billion and the immediate removal of CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman, with a trial planned in an Oakland court.
- OpenAI replied on X that Musk is driven by ego and rivalry, and the company asked the California and Delaware attorneys general to probe Musk for alleged anti-competitive conduct.
- A New Yorker investigation based on private notes and more than 100 interviews portrays Altman as a manipulative leader who, according to former colleagues, lies without concern for the fallout.
- The report says a 70-page dossier by cofounder Ilya Sutskever helped trigger the five-day attempt to oust Altman in 2023, and it notes multiple wrongful-death suits that blame ChatGPT hallucinations, or made-up outputs, for real-world harm.
- The investigation also describes early talk of a fundraising 'Country Plan' to pit world powers against each other and details ties to Gulf backers, raising concerns over who might gain access to advanced AI.
