The Musk vs. OpenAI trial finally kicked off this week 🍿
....so what's the scoop?

Musk took the stand last week and told the jury AI "could also kill us all" while explaining why he wants $130 billion and OpenAI dragged back to nonprofit status. OpenAI's lawyer William Savitt cross-examined him for two days and they repeatedly bumped heads over Musk's evolving story.

😬 wait, did Musk just hand them a win?

Kinda, but not in the way you think. He admitted under oath that xAI used distillation on OpenAI's models to train Grok. He called it standard industry practice.

It's the first time a major US AI exec has confirmed on the record that American labs are training off each other's models. The exact thing OpenAI keeps accusing Chinese firms of doing.

when does this wrap?

Trial resumes today. Brockman and Altman are both expected to testify soon. If Musk wins, OpenAI's IPO is dead and one of his biggest rivals gets gutted. If he loses, OpenAI walks free and has a runway to go public this year.

is this a copilot killer?

Text-heavy stuff like reports and study guides comes out clean. Complex Excel formulas still trip it up, and there's no direct PowerPoint export. But Microsoft charges $30 a month for Copilot to do basically the same thing. Google just made the price floor zero.

what's the challenge?

Use Gemini's new file feature to turn a chaotic upcoming trip into one clean PDF you can actually use.

Here's what to do:

📥 Step 1: Dump everything in Open Gemini and upload every flight confirmation, hotel email, and booking screenshot for your next trip. Handwritten notes work too.

🗺️ Step 2: Give it the prompt Try: "Create a single PDF travel itinerary from these. Organize day by day with times, addresses, and confirmation numbers. Add a packing checklist for the destination."

✏️ Step 3: Refine in chat Read what it gives you first. Ask for fixes ("add local emergency numbers", "include restaurant reservations"). Then hit export.

📤 Step 4: Send it Drop it in the group chat with whoever you're traveling with. Bonus: ask Gemini to also build an Excel expense tracker while it's at it.

Will Musk actually drag OpenAI back to nonprofit status, or is this $130 billion in expensive theater? And, is Microsoft Copilot still worth $30 a month?
