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.

BBC News | Musk says basis of charitable giving at stake in OpenAI lawsuit AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A trial in Oakland pits Elon Musk against OpenAI co‑founder Sam Altman over a lawsuit alleging that Altman and other executives “stole a charity” by turning OpenAI’s original nonprofit into a commercial venture. Musk, who contributed roughly $38 million to the nonprofit, says the move breaches charitable trust and amounts to unjust enrichment, seeking billions in damages to restore the nonprofit arm and oust Altman. OpenAI’s lawyers counter that Musk’s motivations stem from jealousy and a desire to control the company, accusing him of bullying founders and trying to merge OpenAI with his own firms. Both sides have been warned by the judge not to use their platforms to influence the case, and a verdict is expected in late May.

The Guardian | Google reportedly signs classified AI deal with US Pentagon by Sanya Mansoor and agencies AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Google has reportedly signed a classified‑use agreement with the U.S. Pentagon that allows the military to employ the company’s artificial‑intelligence models for any lawful government purpose, joining other Silicon Valley firms such as OpenAI, Anthropic and Elon Musk’s xAI. The contract, worth up to $200 million, requires Google to adjust AI safety settings at the Pentagon’s request but specifies that the technology must not be used for domestic mass surveillance or autonomous weapons without human oversight, and Google does not retain veto power over lawful operational decisions. The deal has sparked significant employee backlash, with more than 600 staff signing an open letter urging CEO Sundar Pichai to refuse providing AI for classified workloads, recalling earlier protests that led Google to drop the Project Maven contract in 2018.

News Headlines | OpenAI trial begins pitting Elon Musk against Sam Altman AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. A civil trial in Oakland began on April 28, 2026, pitting Elon Musk against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the company’s shift from a nonprofit to a for‑profit “wealth machine.” Musk alleges that Altman and president Greg Brockman betrayed the original mission to steward AI for humanity, seeking $150 billion in damages, the removal of Altman and Brockman, and a return to nonprofit status, with proceeds to OpenAI’s charitable arm. He claims he contributed about $38 million in seed funding and that the transformation was done without his consent. OpenAI counters that Musk was aware of, and even supported, the change, and argues his lawsuit is driven by personal grievances after he left the board and started his own AI venture. The case could affect OpenAI’s planned IPO, its valuation—potentially up to $1 trillion—and broader public concerns about AI governance.

US Top News and Analysis | We tried out xAI's Grok chatbot while driving a Tesla in NYC. Here's what happened. AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. CNBC took Tesla owner and lawyer Mike Nelson on a New York City drive to test xAI’s Grok chatbot, now available in‑vehicle on a beta basis. Nelson, who has used Grok for months, describes it as his primary source of on‑the‑road entertainment, asking the AI everything from gardening tips to historical trivia while the car’s Full Self‑Driving (FSD) system is engaged. While the voice‑activated assistant can handle navigation and answer a wide range of questions, the ride‑along highlighted serious safety concerns: Nelson admitted he was not paying attention while crossing the busy George Washington Bridge, and experts warn that such AI‑driven conversations add a new layer of distraction to an already risky multitasking environment, especially as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration probes FSD’s safety record. Grok also demonstrated reliability issues—misanswering control commands and even offering an unrestricted “NSFW” mode that sparked worries about minors accessing inappropriate content. Overall, the technology is seen as impressive but potentially dangerous until its impact on driver focus is better understood.

How does anyone read this and not go, “This nazi bastard man is batshit insane”?

Asterisks added in place of bold.

“[The merger of xAI into SpaceX] marks not just the next chapter, but the next book in SpaceX and xAI’s mission: scaling to make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars!” Musk said.

Yes, it’s a real quote. Reuters has it, Marketwatch has it but behind a paywall.
