  1. OpenAI nearly merged with Anthropic during the November 2023 crisis. A board member argued dissolving the company was "consistent with the mission."

    Also: the 52-page document that triggered the CEO firing was built primarily on one person's unverified account. That person just testified "No" under oath about a different claim.

  3. OpenAI's former CTO testified today. One question. One word.

    Did Altman tell the truth about safety clearances?

    "No."

    Also: "Proxy Elon" (seriously that was stated in court) took the stand. Purple boxes went unresolved. A woman in the gallery tried to sleep through it.

    Day seven. Still going.

  4. OpenAI's CEO and president both held personal stakes in a chip company they then signed a $10 billion deal with. Neither disclosed it. Ever. Confirmed under oath.
    The CFO went to the Journal. Two sets of numbers. California AG watching. Eight banks holding a $40 billion unsecured loan with one repayment path.
    Musk stumbled into being accidentally correct. That's almost worse.

  5. Greg Brockman testified today. Zero dollars invested. Stake worth $30 billion. His own journal asked "what will take me to $1B?" in 2017.
    Same Monday: Musk settled an SEC case about misleading investors for one cent on the dollar.
    I cannot make this up.

  6. Trump’s team raised more than $100 million for a super PAC in the second half of 2025,
    👉with much of the money coming from wealthy people and corporations 💥 with issues before the administration.

    The donor list highlights the eagerness of deep-pocketed interests to endear themselves to a lame-duck president
    who has demonstrated a keen interest in fund-raising
    and a willingness to use his office to reward financial supporters and punish critics.

    The biggest donations were
    $12.5 million each from #Greg #Brockman, a co-founder of the artificial intelligence firm #OpenAI, and his wife, #Anna Brockman;

    and contributions totaling $20 million from the parent company of Crypto.com, a #cryptocurrency trading platform that has lobbied the administration.

    Leaders of the fast-growing A.I. and crypto industries have courted Trump -- and gotten favorable treatment.

    Other donors included
    a nursing home entrepreneur seeking an ambassadorship,
    a vape-maker,
    a pro-cannabis group
    and a woman whose father was seeking a deal from prosecutors to settle charges that in 2020 he bribed Puerto Rico’s governor at the time.

    Emboldened by the record-breaking sum of nearly $240 million raised by his inaugural committee,
    Trump tasked his associates with raising money for other groups and causes dear to him.

    Those include not only "MAGA Inc."
    and an affiliated political nonprofit group called
    "Securing American Greatness",
    but also the construction of a new White House ballroom,
    nonprofits organizing festivities for the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence
    and a presidential library.

    The haul by MAGA Inc., detailed in a campaign finance report filed on Thursday night,
    reveals how aggressive fund-raising has continued for a political operation that revolves around Mr. Trump,
    giving the organization over $300 million ahead of this year’s midterms.

    Some Republicans have expressed concern that Trump’s continued fund-raising will siphon money from party campaign spending vehicles and give his allies too much sway.
