🚨 OpenAI just REMOVED the AGI clause that was a structural protection of OpenAI's charitable mission, while jury selection was happening today
The 2019 capped-profit structure had three protections for the charitable mission:
1. 100x profit cap: REMOVED in PBC conversion
2. AGI clause: REMOVED today
3. Microsoft exclusivity: REMOVED today
All three are gone.
This is exactly what Musk's lawsuit alleges: the people running OpenAI systematically dismantled the mission-protection mechanisms. Today they did it again.
The defense theory just got harder.
OpenAI's defense includes: "Microsoft's $13 billion-plus investment was necessary for our mission. Without that capital, OpenAI couldn't have shipped GPT-4 or scaled ChatGPT."
But today, on the morning of trial, OpenAI announced they are decoupling from Microsoft:
• AGI clause REMOVED. The nuclear option that let the non-profit board terminate Microsoft's commercial rights once AGI was achieved. Gone.
• Microsoft IP license now NON-EXCLUSIVE through 2032. OpenAI can license to anyone.
• Cloud exclusivity ENDED. OpenAI can sell across AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle.
• Revenue share capped. Microsoft no longer pays revenue share to OpenAI; OpenAI still pays Microsoft through 2030.
If Microsoft was so necessary, why restructure on the day the case reaches a jury?
Musk's lawyers will use this in court tomorrow.
I hear so often: “the right must unite”.
The rally on 16 May is not just an opportunity for politicians to unite but also for us to meet our boss - the British people.
If we, servants of the people, wish to save our country, we must be with our people.
Unified peaceful resolute British strength. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
All three of the liberal justices dissented from the order allowing Texas to use their new congressional map.
But these same justices all voted with a unanimous court back in February to allow California to use its new maps.
The three liberal justices are simply progressive activists wearing black robes.
When I wrote The New White Nationalism in America in 2002, there were roughly 2,000 KKK members left in the entire nation — and a large percentage were suspected paid informants.
Real hate groups were so sparse that the Southern Poverty Law Center was being openly accused of inflating numbers to scare Holocaust survivors and other donors. Their annual “hate map” literally required them to invent new threats every year just to keep the fundraising machine running.
Back then, a “white supremacist” actually meant someone who believed their own race was superior to others.
Then came the Obama administration’s tight collaboration with the SPLC — and everything changed. Suddenly all whites could be branded “privileged racists” by default.
My book warned that identity politics, racial grievance culture, and the suppression of honest debate would breed exactly this kind of backlash and division. It was a call for genuine integration and color-blind justice instead.
Ignored then. More relevant than ever now — especially after the SPLC’s recent federal fraud indictment for allegedly paying millions to informants inside the very extremist groups it claims to oppose.
