Summary
The strongest witness for Elon Musk’s case against OpenAI so far has been Greg Brockman’s journal. Brockman was called to the stand in a rather unusual way, he was cross-examined first, followed by a direct examination, and he had some serious high school debate club energy. The reporter has previously said that if you can define the word “epistemology,” you should not testify in your own defense. This would have been bad enough. “It’d be wrong to steal the non-profit from him” is close to Musk’s “steal a charity” line, the reporter notice.
