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.

Mother Jones | Sam Altman’s ChatGPT Couldn’t Stop Obsessing Over Goblins by Alex Nguyen AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI revealed that its newest ChatGPT model began repeatedly mentioning “goblins, gremlins and other creatures” because of a system prompt used for the optional “Nerdy” personality, which encourages playful language and acknowledges the world’s strangeness. After users reported lines such as “sensible little goblin” and “filthy little goblins,” the company added a specific instruction—via reinforcement‑learning‑based fine‑tuning—to suppress any reference to mythical or animal creatures unless absolutely relevant. OpenAI said the change, implemented after the issue was first noticed last November, exemplifies its effort to quickly investigate and correct odd model behavior, a process it contrasted with the controversy surrounding Elon Musk’s Grok chatbot. Despite acknowledging these quirks, OpenAI continues to push for minimal regulation while admitting it is still learning how its models function.

BBC News | OpenAI tells ChatGPT models to stop talking about goblins AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI has instructed its AI tools—including ChatGPT and the coding assistant Codex—to stop mentioning goblins, gremlins and other mythical creatures after a sharp rise in such references was detected following the launch of GPT‑5.1; the company traced the issue to a “nerdy personality” that unintentionally rewarded goblin mentions, causing a 175% increase in goblin references and a 52% rise in gremlin mentions, and responded by adding explicit instructions to avoid these terms unless absolutely relevant. This episode underscores the broader challenge of fine‑tuning chatbots for more personable, engaging dialogue, where attempts to add character can create odd linguistic quirks and potentially affect accuracy.

The Guardian | Musk faces third day of questioning in contentious trial over OpenAI’s founding by Dara Kerr in Oakland and Nick Robins-Early AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI entered its third day of testimony in a federal courthouse in Oakland, with the Tesla CEO facing further questioning and preparing to call additional witnesses, including OpenAI president Greg Brockman, while OpenAI’s co‑founder Sam Altman is slated to testify later in the three‑week trial. Musk, who co‑founded OpenAI in 2015, alleges that Altman, Brockman and the company breached an original agreement by converting the nonprofit into a for‑profit entity, enriching themselves and violating the founders’ intent, and is seeking to reverse the conversion and obtain $134 billion in damages for the nonprofit arm. OpenAI denies the claims, saying Musk was aware of the for‑profit plans and accusing him of jealousy over the firm’s success, and argues it remains overseen by a nonprofit. The case, watched closely by Silicon Valley, could affect OpenAI’s planned public listing later this year and has broader implications for the AI industry, with a nine‑person jury to decide liability and the judge determining any remedies.

US Top News and Analysis | Google cloud growth tops Microsoft and Amazon as all three beat estimates on AI demand AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In the first quarter, the three leading cloud providers all surpassed analyst expectations, with Google posting the most striking growth—its cloud revenue jumped 63% to $20.03 billion, the fastest expansion since the segment was separated in 2020. Amazon Web Services saw a 28% increase to $37.6 billion, while Microsoft’s Azure and other cloud services rose 40%, beating estimates. The surge is driven by soaring demand for artificial‑intelligence models and services, as Google pushes its Gemini AI and tensor‑processing units, Amazon expands its Bedrock AI platform, and Microsoft reports a doubling of customers using Anthropic and OpenAI models. Together, the trio expects to spend nearly $600 billion on capital expenditures this year, even as smaller “neocloud” players capture about 5% of the market.

NBC News Top Stories | Big Tech earnings test record stock market rally as AI spending takes center stage by Rob Wile AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Big Tech’s latest earnings show the AI boom is reshaping market dynamics, but results still fall short of the sky‑high expectations set for the sector. Alphabet beat forecasts and saw its stock rise, while Meta’s flat‑quarter outlook dragged its shares down, and Amazon and Microsoft delivered mixed signals that nudged their stocks lower. Despite geopolitical tension, rising oil prices and weak consumer sentiment, the S&P 500 remains near record highs, buoyed by the strong profit margins of the “Magnificent 7” tech leaders—Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia and Tesla. Analysts note that the market’s heavy reliance on these firms heightens downside risk if AI‑related spending fails to translate into earnings, yet investors are cautiously optimistic, viewing the current valuations as cheaper and the companies’ AI infrastructure investments as a critical test of future growth.

US Top News and Analysis | Amazon posted a blowout quarter. Why the Street says this is only the start of the stock's strong run AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Amazon.com reported a strong first‑quarter earnings beat, posting $181.52 billion in revenue—above the $177.3 billion forecast—and earnings of $2.78 per share versus the $1.64 consensus estimate. AWS accelerated 28% quarter‑over‑quarter, driven by AI‑related workload shifts and its Trainium chip, while the company lifted its second‑quarter revenue outlook to $194‑199 billion. Although the stock initially rose more than 4% before retracing, analysts were upbeat: Barclays raised its target to $330, Citi to $285, Morgan Stanley to $330, Bernstein to $315, BofA to $310, Mizuho to $325, and Canaccord to $330, citing AWS’s AI‑driven growth, a robust retail business, expanding margins, and a strong backlog that position Amazon as a leading AI and e‑commerce player.

US Top News and Analysis | OpenAI trial live updates: Musk takes the stand again after heated cross-examination AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk returned to the stand for a third time on Thursday as the OpenAI trial entered its fourth day, facing heated cross‑examination by OpenAI’s lawyer William Savitt. Musk reiterated that he lost trust in Sam Altman by late 2022, citing Microsoft’s $10 billion investment in 2023 as the tipping point that convinced him the company’s for‑profit arm had overtaken its original nonprofit mission, effectively “stealing the charity” he helped seed with $38 million. He argued that a small for‑profit subsidiary could support the nonprofit, but it should not become the “main event.” After Musk’s testimony, his attorneys are expected to call Jared Birchall, the manager of Musk’s family office, and possibly Greg Brockman and Stanford professor Stuart Russell as additional witnesses. The case is overseen by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in federal court in Oakland, California.

NPR Topics: News | In court, Elon Musk accuses OpenAI of trying to 'have your cake and eat it, too' by John Ruwitch AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In court testimony in Oakland on April 28‑29, 2026, Elon Musk said he was a “fool” for funding OpenAI and accused the company’s leaders—CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman—of turning the original 2015 nonprofit into a for‑profit enterprise that “stole” a charity. Musk argued that the 2020 Microsoft investment and a later $10 billion injection gave Microsoft undue control, violated OpenAI’s promise to stay open, and effectively made the for‑profit arm the dominant entity of a $20 billion‑valued organization. He is seeking Altman’s ouster, a rollback of the for‑profit structure, and greater control, while acknowledging his own $38 million contribution and claiming the nonprofit’s mission has been compromised.

qwant news | Larry’s risky business AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Oracle’s founder Larry Ellison has poured the company into a massive AI bet, striking a roughly $300 billion deal with OpenAI to build bare‑metal data centres that will power the startup’s inference workloads. Unlike traditional AI players that train large foundation models, Oracle is banking on the more lucrative inference side, leveraging its enterprise software and cloud customer base to embed AI directly into its existing databases. The gamble involves huge capital outlays, high debt, and reliance on OpenAI’s uncertain ability to become profitable, while also navigating community opposition to new data‑centre construction, geopolitical risks, and mounting regulatory scrutiny. Critics warn the partnership could strain Oracle’s finances and expose it to the volatility of the broader AI bubble, even as the company hopes to lock‑in a dominant position in enterprise‑grade AI services.
