@ihtesham2005 The uncomfortable bit is that humans do this too.

@ihtesham2005 The real product here is trust.

@ihtesham2005 This is the kind of history that makes you realize we were never taught the real builders properly.

@ihtesham2005 More power to the developer and community who is keep this alive.

@ihtesham2005 “Torches of freedom” is still one of the darkest marketing lessons ever.

Take a harmful product, attach it to a noble identity, let the audience defend it for you.

@ihtesham2005 The real flex at 50 might not be money, status, or abs.

It might be having three people who know the unedited version of you and still pick up the phone...

@ihtesham2005 Publishers hate it because it does the one thing academia keeps pretending is impossible:

makes research easier without charging the student again.

@ihtesham2005 True statement: "Humans were never born to read. Yes, you read that right. There is no reading center in the brain."

So here's the real question:

If the nonprofit that was supposed to save humanity from AI became a trillion-dollar company instead...

Was the mission ever real? Or was it just the origin story?

Musk's most striking testimony wasn't about money. It was about belief.

He recounted an argument with Google co-founder Larry Page, who called him a "speciesist" for caring about humans over AI supremacy.

That, Musk said, is why he built OpenAI. To protect humanity.

The trial runs 3-4 weeks. Up next:

Musk continues Wednesday. Then Altman, Brockman, Nadella, Sutskever, Murati.

Every major AI figure, under oath, in one courtroom.

OpenAI is projected to lose $14B this year despite a $122B round. Florida's AG is separately investigating them.

Then Musk took the stand.

"I came up with the idea, name, recruited the key people, provided the funding," he testified.

He recounted recruiting Ilya Sutskever personally. Said Nadella once told him: "the only reason he's in this thing is because of me."

Inside the courtroom, the tension was immediate.

Musk's attorney opened with a grenade: "We are here because the defendants stole a charity."

He compared OpenAI's for-profit pivot to a museum store that "sold the Picassos."

The jury leaned in.

[The Prohuman @theprohumanai]

The numbers are staggering.

Musk donated ~$38-44 million to a nonprofit. OpenAI is now worth $852 billion. Planning a Q4 IPO at ~$1 trillion.

Musk wants the for-profit conversion rolled back, Altman removed, and $134-150 billion disgorged.

[The Prohuman @theprohumanai]

OpenAI fired back just as hard.

"We are here because Mr. Musk didn't get his way," said their attorney William Savitt.

He called the whole lawsuit a "pageant of hypocrisy."

Savitt revealed Musk wanted >50% equity and tried to merge OpenAI with Tesla.
