In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

Jaguars HC Liam Coen on evaluating his RBs, via @CoachspeakIndex: "What I look at, personally, is rushing yards over expected, and yards after contact. That’s what I give a crap about. It’s like, what are you doing outside of what we’re blocking, and what does that look like - because I can’t coach that." I think all RB metrics have some real flaws, but fwiw last year in Rush Yards Over Expectation per attempt: * Chris Rodriguez +0.7 * Bhayshul Tuten -0.2 In Yards After Contact per attempt: * Chris Rodriguez 4.0 * Bhayshul Tuten 3.6 I still much prefer Tuten in fantasy, but current market has the gap extremely wide. Rodriguez ADP is 145.1, Tuten at 60.0.

NEW: Utah woman who wrote a book about grief after her husband died has been found guilty of murdering him. According to prosecutors, Kouri Richins put 5x the lethal dose of the synthetic opioid into a cocktail that her husband Eric Richins drank. Prosecutors also say Richins said she was $4.5 million in debt and thought that if she killed him, she would inherit his estate worth $4 million. She was also seeing another man. Richins attempted killing her husband on another occasion where she gave him a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out. Before she was arrested in 2023, Richins published the book “Are You with Me?” and promoted it on local TV and radio stations. Prosecutors say this was an attempt to cover up the murder. Richins is scheduled to be sentenced on May 13.

@michaelxbloch Don’t fully agree but appreciate the fresh take and perspective. My foundational belief is that AI is truly transformational, however, software incumbents (SNOW, CRM, MSFT) can leverage AI to plug holes faster than competition can rise to parity

Let me get this straight. I’ve had to spend 15 years watching teams tank and Embiid flop and “rest management”, and all the unethical bullshit. Then as soon as my team has an incentive to suck (and they still win when they really shouldn’t) anorexic Mr. Clean wants to fuck us…

@HolderStephen @nytimes No journalist arrests in Indianapolis because we certainly lack true journalism when it comes to the Colts! Every major news story for this organization comes outside the city. Luck, irsay, you name it - crickets. Stephen - stick to sports. You barely cover it as is.

I gotta just reiterate. Bill Polian, Tony Dungy etc made up deflategate to begin with because they couldn’t beat the Pats. They were the actual liars and cheats. They should be tried for football crimes against humanity. The fact people are only now waking up to this is the real crime!
