By

Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Sam Altman testified in the OpenAI lawsuit brought by Elon Musk, denying allegations that he stole a charity. Altman presented himself as bewildered by the accusations, while the article notes that documentary evidence largely supports his account. However, the piece suggests the case involves more than just the trial proceedings, hinting at broader implications for OpenAI and the AI industry.
