Framework now offers Nvidia’s new 12GB RTX 5070 laptop GPU for the Laptop 16.

Buying it on its own from Framework, the GPU costs $1,199.00 — a $500 jump from the 8GB variant, which costs $699.00. As part of a full laptop order, the gap between them is $500, too.

Nvidia announced the new GPU earlier today as a way to “maximize memory availability.”

“[Musk] demanded control, he demanded the ability to make all the decisions without regard to the other founders.”

According to Altman’s lawyer, William Savitt. Continuing his opening argument, Savitt brought up an email from OpenAI scientist Ilya Sutskever around the time Musk’s quarterly donations ended.

It said, “The current structure provides you with a path where you end up with unilateral absolute control over the AGI,” which apparently upset Musk to the point that he “literally” grabbed his stuff and stormed out.

OpenAI lawyers argue that Elon was right in the middle of discussions about a for-profit pivot.

According to Savitt, once Brockman and Ilya Sutskever built an AI model capable of besting DOTA 2 players in 2017 and realized the importance of compute, they held dozens of meetings that included Musk, Jared Birchall (CEO of Neuralink and Musk’s long-time wealth manager), and Shivon Zilis (you know), about how to structure OpenAI for-profit.

“Musk was furious that OpenAI succeeded.”

William Savitt, who is representing Sam Altman, continued his opening argument, saying that Musk only started to care about supposedly broken promises by Altman and OpenAI president Greg Brockman once he became a competitor. “The only person who claims to have heard those promises is Mr. Musk himself.”

OpenAI: Musk’s lawsuit is a “pageant of hypocrisy.”

The lawyers representing Sam Altman and OpenAI are not mincing words when it comes to Musk’s claims in their opening argument, saying that we’re only here “because Mr. Musk didn’t get his way at OpenAI.”

Sam Altman’s “related party conflicted transactions” are how he made money on OpenAI, Molo says.

Companies Altman invested in got contracts from OpenAI that Altman approved, Molo says. That’s how Altman is making OpenAI money without an OpenAI equity stake.

Technical difficulties.

Molo’s mike just cut out. YGR: “What can we tell you, we’re funded by the federal government.” It was reset and cut out again, “Is this a Microsoft product?” Molo asks.

OpenAI is like a museum store that has looted the Picassos and pocketed the profits.

The point at which Musk’s lawyer says the change occurred was the third Microsoft deal on Oct. 20th, 2022. That is when OpenAI was no longer for the good of humanity, and also when Musk hired a lawyer.
