    YGR scolds OpenAI for taking inconsistent positions on the origin of its name.

    “You seem to suggest OpenAI did not refer to open source,” YGR says. But that may conflict with what was said in another case. “I would suggest you talk to Quinn Emanuel and perhaps look at the prosecution history” about the origin of the name. “Do not take inconsistent positions in front of me.”

    Sam Altman left during a break, but Elon Musk’s lawyer didn’t notice.

    Molo went to gesture to Altman to ask if, as he sat there today, safety was important to him. But Altman, who was here for the opening arguments, left afterward.

    Musk claims he has time for SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and the Boring Company because he works a lot.

    “I work 80 to 100 hours a week,” Musk says. He says he doesn’t take vacations, own vacation homes, or own a yacht. He also spends an awful lot of time posting to X.com, doesn’t he?
