Crying in the shower. Taking mental health leave. This is what it’s like to work at the tech giant during the AI job apocalypse.

“Trump purchased $1 million to $5 million dollars worth of Nvidia stock on Feb. 10, only a week before Nvidia announced a major computer processing power deal with AI and social media giant Meta. Trump previously purchased $500,000 to $1 million worth of Nvidia stock on Jan. 6, a week before the Commerce Department officially approved the sale of some Nvidia chips to China.” notus.org/money/donald-t…

Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI has been bleeding staff since its merger techcrunch.com/2026/05/14/elo…
English
Musk's lawyer in closing says Musk does care a lot about this. "Everybody here has rights," he said, " even really rich guys like Elon Musk."
English
Lawyer for OpenAI finally addressed in court the fact that amid closing arguments in the lawsuit he brought, Musk isn’t in Oakland but, uh, “in parts unknown.”
Brockman and Altman are here bc “they care a lot about this.” In contrast, he argued, Musk only cares about Musk.

Local news is entering a new era and it will be better than the last. More things are possible with the new tech stack, and subscriptions make it sustainable. Direct relationships win.

new @NewYorker column, on the rise of hyperlocal neighborhood email newsletters, solo shoe-leather operations telling you what's going on on your block. In Brooklyn alone there's the Carroll Gardens Times, the Court Street Journal, the Grand Army Gazette, the Boerum Bulletin...

That's nice you are having an event in May. You and 700 other people
English
Musk's lawyers got a reaction — a furrowed brow from Altman — by turning around & gesturing at him while saying that Musk's $38 million had allowed OpenAI to grow to the point where defendants were able "to do these things they're doing now that they shouldn’t be doing."
English
"I want to make sure you understand that Sam Altman’s credibility is directly at issue in this case," Musk's atty just said. "If you cannot trust him, if you don’t believe him, they cannot win."
Altman, sitting next to Brockman, is alternately stony faced or looking at his lap.
English
As lawyers in Musk v. Altman begin closing arguments today, everyone is craning their necks to see how Brockman and Altman are reacting to Musk's attorney's attacks on his credibility.

@ZeffMax can't fight about Big Computer until we solve Big Monitor
English
the big monitor has been EXCUSED
Max Zeff@ZeffMax
Musk's lawyer brought a big monitor (maybe 36 inches) into the courtroom. OpenAI's lawyers asked to use it. Musk's lawyers said no. The judge told Musk's lawyers they have to let OpenAi use it. Then OpenAI said it might not be possible to connect their laptops to it.

Despite an unexpected talent for being unemployed, I found a new job too cool to pass up and am back in my nice pants. I am now the tech editor at The San Francisco Standard, joining a stacked team that includes my former Postie partner in crime, @ceodonovan.

I'm sorry but the position that there's a 10% chance of human extinction because "computer too big" is wacky. Just because some rich powerful people believe it does not make it more reasonable.

@mil000 Alameda’s great too, but I personally would pick EC between the two because of easier access to lot more stuff

El Cerrito remains the best bang for your buck in the area imo. I predict this will go for around 1.8. redfin.com/CA/El-Cerrito/…

BTW, do not be alarmed While the market for real estate in San Francisco is going absolutely crazy in the $5 to $10 MM range and selling way above expectations right now Below this price point, home prices are business as usual and are elevated, but not any more than the NASDAQ and S&P500 ETC Keep calm and carry on. Yes, it's competitive, but it will be okay.

Who are some of your all's favorite ecologists, one who can represent the discipline's perspective on the probability of AI-induced human extinction?
Joe Weisenthal@TheStalwart
@BigMeanInternet Yeah, we should. Who are some good ones to talk to?

English
@devahaz yes but then you’re in el cerrito. Alameda is probably the move if you need to go downtown SF often

Elon Musk flew to China with Trump despite a federal judge telling him he wasn't excused from the trial over his own lawsuit against OpenAI.
Sources say he did not secure permission from the judge to leave the country.
