Times of India | Quote of the day by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: “What I lose the most sleep over is the hypothetical idea that we already have done something really bad by launching ChatGPT” AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warned that, despite ChatGPT’s rapid rise and widespread use across education, content creation, coding and customer service, he “loses sleep” over the possibility that the launch may already have caused unforeseen harm; his remarks highlight the inherent uncertainty of deploying powerful, learning‑based AI systems that cannot be fully understood before release, underscoring the need for ongoing monitoring, safety safeguards, responsible development, and global cooperation to address risks such as misinformation, bias, and societal impact.

US Top News and Analysis | Musk testimony dominated first week Musk v. Altman. 'You can't just steal a charity' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The first week of the federal trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman ended with Musk testifying that he sued the AI firm because its leaders allegedly turned a nonprofit charity into a for‑profit operation, misusing the roughly $38 million he contributed. Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI, claimed the company’s shift after his 2018 board departure and the launch of ChatGPT violated its charitable mission and enriched Altman and Greg Brockman, arguing that the for‑profit arm now “has the tail wagging the dog.” He asserted he originated OpenAI, recruited its key people, and provided the initial funding, and is seeking restitution, removal of Altman and Brockman, and reversal of the for‑profit conversion, while the jury’s liability phase is expected to conclude by May 21, with Altman and Brockman slated to testify later this month.

Domani: Eticità a targhe alterne: la causa di Elon Musk contro OpenAI e il rischio boomerang L’uomo più ricco del mondo è convinto di essere stato ingannato. I suoi ex soci avrebbero trasformato la startup in una macchina da soldi, quando in principio era una no-profit. Ma il processo gli serve solo a descriversi in modo diverso rispetto alla realtà. Ad esempio, sottolinea che l’Ia usata da queste persone sia un rischio per l’umanità. Ma dimentica di mettersi in questa lista Ethics with mixed signs: the cause of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and the boomerang risk. The richest man in the world is convinced he has been deceived. His former partners would have turned the startup into a money machine, when initially it was a non-profit. But the process only serves to describe himself differently from reality. For example, he emphasizes that the AI used by these people is a risk for humanity. But he forgets to put himself on that list. #ElonMusk’s #OpenAI https://www.editorialedomani.it/politica/mondo/elon-musk-causa-contro-open-ai-eticita-targhe-alterne-rischio-boomerang-o983a64l

Feed: All Latest | OpenAI Enables Marketing Cookies by Default for Free ChatGPT Users by Reece Rogers, Maddy Varner AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI has updated its U.S. privacy policy to allow the use of cookies and limited user identifiers for advertising its products on third‑party sites, a change aimed at converting free‑tier ChatGPT users into paying subscribers. The company says conversations with ChatGPT remain private and are not shared with marketers, but data such as email addresses or cookie IDs may be sent to marketing partners to track ad effectiveness and promote services like ChatGPT and Codex. These marketing settings are enabled by default for free accounts, while paid accounts have them off, and users can opt out anytime via the “Marketing Privacy” control in the app’s settings. The revision also clarifies that OpenAI does not sell personal data, but it may share limited information with select marketing partners for targeted advertising, a shift from its previous policy that barred such sharing.

Feed: All Latest | A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat by Taylor Lorenz AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Build American AI—a dark‑money outfit tied to the $100 million “Leading the Future” super PAC backed by tech executives from OpenAI, Palantir, Andreessen Horowitz and others—is funding a coordinated influencer campaign that first showcased lifestyle creators praising American AI and now pushes “China is a threat” messaging, paying influencers $5,000‑plus per post to frame Chinese advancement in artificial intelligence as a national‑security risk and an economic danger to U.S. jobs and personal data; the effort, run through the agency SM4, targets both left‑ and right‑leaning creators, has been denied any direct support by OpenAI or Palantir, and reflects a broader push by AI‑industry groups to steer public opinion and policy ahead of the 2026 midterms by leveraging undisclosed paid content on TikTok, Instagram and X.

The Intercept | Musk Warns of Killer AI — While He and the Rest of Silicon Valley Cash In on AI That Kills by Sam Biddle AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, in which he warned that the company’s for‑profit shift could produce a “Terminator” outcome, highlights a paradox: while tech leaders publicly decry the existential threat of autonomous AI, they are simultaneously profiting from—and enabling—AI systems that already kill. Musk claims OpenAI betrayed its original nonprofit safety mission, yet firms such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, and Musk’s own xAI are selling large‑language‑model services to the Pentagon and other militaries, providing tools that can suggest targets, generate precise coordinates, and streamline lethal operations. Examples cited include Anthropic’s Claude model being used to prioritize Iranian targets and Google’s new classified‑work contract allowing its AI to support air‑strike targeting and other warfare functions, despite earlier internal opposition to military use. The article argues that this “tech‑military ecosystem” makes AI‑enabled killing a present reality, contradicting the industry’s stated fears of a distant, sci‑fi apocalypse.

US Top News and Analysis | A major shift could soon happen in the Mag 7 AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Alphabet’s shares are on the brink of eclipsing Nvidia to become the world’s most valuable company, with a surge that lifted its market‑cap to over $4.6 trillion and gave the stock a 140 % gain in the past year. While Nvidia, now trading below $4.9 trillion and down more than 6 % after a Wall Street Journal report on OpenAI’s missed revenue targets, struggles to rally ahead of its May 20 earnings, options traders are pricing a roughly 53 % chance that Alphabet will reach the $401 per‑share level—equivalent to Nvidia’s market cap—by May 15, and about a 30 % probability it will close above $400 on May 22. The last time Alphabet held the top spot was in 2016, briefly displacing Apple.

Times of India | Lawyers in OpenAI trial claim that most important role of Shivon Zilis, mother of Elon Musk's four children, is being a covert liaison between OpenAI and Tesla CEO as she … AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. During the OpenAI trial, lawyers alleged that Shivon Zilis—Elon Musk’s partner and mother of his four children—served as a covert liaison between Musk and OpenAI after his 2018 departure from the board. Zilis, who joined OpenAI as an advisor in 2016 and later sat on its board from 2020 to 2023, was described by Musk at times as “chief of staff” and a close advisor. Court filings included text messages and emails in which Zilis asked Musk whether she should stay “close and friendly” to OpenAI to keep information flowing, and where she relayed internal updates on fundraising, AI projects and leadership discussions. Musk confirmed their personal relationship and shared children, while noting that Zilis had shifted much of her focus to his other companies but remained available to assist OpenAI when needed.

Feed: All Latest | How Shivon Zilis Operated as Elon Musk’s OpenAI Insider by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Shivon Zilis, a longtime Musk associate and mother of four of his children, emerged during the first week of the Musk‑v‑Altman trial as a pivotal behind‑the‑scenes conduit between Elon Musk and OpenAI. Joining OpenAI as an advisor in 2016 and later serving on its nonprofit board (2020‑2023), Zilis also held executive roles at Neuralink and Tesla. Court testimony and documents reveal that she acted as Musk’s informal “chief of staff” and “close advisor,” relaying internal OpenAI developments, negotiating equity structures, and coordinating personnel moves while simultaneously advising OpenAI founders on managing their relationship with Musk. Texts and emails show Zilis updating Musk on fundraising, project progress, and strategic concerns—such as Musk’s desire to limit the influence of Google DeepMind’s leader—and facilitating communications during key moments, including Musk’s departure from the board (February 2018) and later disputes over OpenAI’s shift toward for‑profit funding and valuation. Her dual role as confidante to both Musk and OpenAI leadership underscores the intricate personal and professional ties that have become central to the legal battle over alleged breaches of the original charitable mission of OpenAI.

qwant news | Sam Altman’s ChatGPT couldn’t stop obsessing over goblins AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI revealed that it had to add a specific instruction to the code of its newest ChatGPT model to stop the “Nerdy” personality from repeatedly mentioning “goblins, gremlins and other creatures.” The company traced the habit to a system prompt that encouraged playful, whimsical language, which caused the model to insert goblin‑related metaphors (“sensible little goblin,” “filthy little goblin,” etc.) when users ranked such responses as engaging. After noticing the pattern in November and seeing it spread beyond the Nerdy setting, OpenAI used reinforcement‑learning adjustments and an explicit rule—“Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant”—to curb the behavior. The fix was reported by Wired, prompting a tongue‑in‑cheek meme from CEO Sam Altman about “extra goblins” in a future model, while the episode underscores ongoing challenges in understanding and safely steering large language models.

Slate Magazine | Elon Musk Is Probably Going to Lose the OpenAI Case by Tony Ho Tran AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. El Elon Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI, has sued the artificial‑intelligence firm and its leaders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for allegedly abandoning its original nonprofit purpose in favor of profit, seeking over $130 billion in damages, the removal of the executives and a return to a pure nonprofit structure. While the trial in Oakland is massive and costly, experts doubt Musk will win, noting he lacks regulatory authority and that no contract obligates OpenAI to stay nonprofit forever. Observers argue Musk’s real aim is not legal victory but a highly public platform to embarrass his former collaborators, expose internal communications, and reshape the narrative around OpenAI’s success—a venture that has outgrown his influence with products like ChatGPT that rival his own technological enterprises.

Observer | The Real Stakes Behind Elon Musk’s Showdown with Sam Altman by Rachel Curry AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The California trial pits Elon Musk against OpenAI’s chief Sam Altman over whether a company that began as a nonprofit can later become a for‑profit entity without breaching its original mission, with Musk arguing it cannot. Musk—who co‑founded OpenAI and now runs the rival xAI—claims the 2022 $10 billion Microsoft investment and OpenAI’s shift to a capped‑profit model in 2019 (and its 2025 conversion to a public‑benefit corporation) violated the charity’s founding purpose, and he is seeking over $150 billion in damages, a forced return to nonprofit status, and a legal ruling on whether OpenAI’s models are approaching artificial general intelligence. OpenAI contends the suit is driven by personal rivalry and that Musk previously pushed for a for‑profit conversion himself; experts say a court‑ordered reversion to nonprofit is unlikely, though financial penalties may be awarded, and the case could set precedent for how future AI startups balance nonprofit origins with profit‑driven growth.

Feed: All Latest | Elon Musk Seemingly Admits xAI Has Used OpenAI's Models to Train Its Own by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk testified in federal court that his AI lab, xAI, likely used OpenAI’s models as a “distillation” technique—training a smaller model to emulate a larger one—a practice he said is common across the industry, though he qualified it as only “partly” true for xAI. During cross‑examination, OpenAI’s lawyer asked whether xAI had directly employed OpenAI technology, to which Musk replied that using competitors’ AI to validate one’s own is standard. The exchange highlights ongoing tensions over model‑distillation, with OpenAI and U.S. officials seeking to block foreign and rival labs from repurposing their models, while other companies like Anthropic have begun cutting off access to each other’s systems amid an increasingly competitive AI landscape.
