OpenAI and Musk exchange (more) public blows
Ahead of their April trial, Elon Musk and OpenAI continued to dispute. Musk shared tales from Greg Brockman's 2017 private notebook, while Sam Altman accused Musk of "cherry-picking" and OAI released its own correspondence.

The specifics:

The document describes Brockman's discussion with Ilya Sutskever about OAI's organizational structure, their goal to become a B-Corp, and worries over Musk's participation.

Altman shared notes on Musk's desire to "accumulate $80B for a self-sustaining city on Mars" and a plan for his children to take over AGI.

In a blog post titled "The truth Elon left out," OpenAI highlighted the context and differences between Musk's submission and Brockman's notes.

"Can't wait to start the trial," Musk tweeted. "The testimony and discovery will blow your mind." The lawsuit allegedly seeks $134 billion in damages.

People, get the popcorn ready. We're in for the messiest, most costly AI litigation ever, and we'll get a close-up look at the beginnings of the largest contemporary battle in technology, if the early discovery nuggets are any indicator. It's obvious that both parties believe the complete record benefits them, so April is going to be really amusing.
