Summary
Unfortunately, Musk v. Altman jurors didn’t get to see the trophy for themselves. Yesterday, in Musk v. Altman, before the jurors came in, Sam Altman’s team passed up what looked, from a distance, like a little league trophy. How exactly did this come up in a trial about nonprofit contract law? Allegedly, when Elon Musk was leaving OpenAI, he talked about wanting to race ahead of Google.
