Summary
A federal jury ruled this morning that Elon Musk waited too long to sue Sam Altman over OpenAI’s broken nonprofit promise. Strip away the feud, the damages claim, the dueling charisma. The future of AI depends on having the right billionaire in the room. That assumption is the real problem, and the court in Oakland cannot solve it. Consider what the trial obscured. Each form was sold as a guarantee that mission would constrain capital. The clearest evidence is the November 2023 firing of Altman by his own nonprofit board. This is the world they live in now. The most consequential decisions about how artificial intelligence is developed, deployed, and constrained are being made inside a handful of private companies. Even at peak form, neither could write laws fast enough to govern it.
