The people who keep their phone face down on every table they sit at aren’t hiding something. They learned that being reachable in front of certain people meant being interrupted out of whatever fragile peace they’d just managed to assemble

Musk Battles OpenAI Lawyer Over Claims Co-Founders Stole a Charity

The AI era’s mega-trial delivered its first real drama, as an OpenAI lawyer sought to portray Elon Musk as resentful and double-dealing during a tense cross examination Wednesday. Bill Savitt, OpenAI’s outside counsel, and a veteran of legal combat with Musk, called into question Musk’s motivations for bringing the lawsuit and sought to undermine Musk’s legal position that OpenAI has broken promises to him and violated its charitable duties.

Владелец наркобизнеса из даркнета ругает РКН
