Once again @lopatto.bsky.social is pulling out new details in the ongoing Musk v. Altman trial and recording them in this convenient liveblog. Everyone say thank you Liz

Every sentence of this @lopatto.bsky.social piece on Shivon Ellis' testimony is a delight, but especially this one www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

I still have a lot of questions for shivon zilis frankly. main one remains "girl, what the fuck" www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

microsoft is the milford man in this trial. it gets funnier every time. www.theverge.com/tech/917225/...

once again I am in court. today we expect shivon zilis, mother of four of musk's children and former openai board member www.theverge.com/tech/917225/...
