The trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI has officially begun. It will be chaos. As the two sides battle it out in the early days of AI, over who deserves credit and money for what, and more, we’ll likely spend the next few weeks hearing about a lot of important people’s secrets that will be made highly public. This may be exactly what Musk is after.
In this episode of vertcast, EdgeThe series’ Liz Lobato joins the show to explain the origins of this case, how it got to trial, and why Musk would willingly fight a fight he’s sure to lose. Liz will be in the courtroom a lot over the next few weeks, and she has some ideas about what she’s interested in – and whether an actual trial might be part of it.
after that, EdgeSeason Hollister’s Sean Hollister takes us through all the news from last week’s Framework event, at which the company debuted its most impressive laptop yet – without sacrificing the repairability and upgradeability that has won the brand so many fans. Sean had seen laptops and typed on keyboards, and had some ideas about the direction this company and the PC business was headed.
Sean then goes on to help David answer a question from the Vergecast hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about small laptops, especially the Surface Go, and whether there’s a new generation of chips that could make these previously underpowered laptops finally sing. We have some good news on this front.
