#212: Musk v. OpenAI Trial Begins, OpenAI-Microsoft Partnership, Big Tech Earnings & Anthropic Eyes $900B Valuation

Elon Musk's federal trial against OpenAI opened this week, and he admitted under oath that xAI distills OpenAI's models. That's just where Episode 212 starts. Paul and Mike cover the full story: the Musk-OpenAI trial and its implications for every company built on ChatGPT, the abrupt rewrite of the Microsoft-OpenAI partnership and the removal of the AGI clause, blockbuster Big Tech earnings (Google Cloud up 63%, Azure AI at $37B run rate), an AI agent that wiped a startup's entire production database in nine seconds, Anthropic eyeing a $900B valuation, a real and growing populist AI backlash, and a powerful segment on former Senator Ben Sasse's terminal cancer diagnosis and what his parting words on AI and Congress mean right now.
