According to a court filing, Elon Musk reached out to OpenAI President Greg Brockman on April 26, two days before their trial began in Oakland federal court, to explore a settlement. When Brockman suggested both parties drop their claims, Musk responded with threats, telling Brockman: “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so it will be.”
The trial, which started on April 28, centers on Musk’s claim that OpenAI betrayed its original nonprofit mission by transitioning to a for-profit model in 2019. Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, and demanding changes to OpenAI’s leadership structure. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is overseeing the case, which is expected to last several weeks.

Why do some people think AI will change the world, while others think it’s ordinary? Karpathy’s two diagnoses
Karpathy pointed out that AI cognition gaps come from two diagnoses: 1) having only used free/older models, which cannot reflect the capability of the most advanced agentic models; 2) ability improvements are only significant in highly technical domains and they show asymmetry. This causes paid users and general readers to see different phenomena, leading to mutual misunderstandings in parallel worlds. The takeaway for readers in Taiwan is that only by actually using the most advanced models to complete production tasks and verify the basis for judgments can you avoid being swayed by media myths.
