Ilya Takes the Stand for Revenge, Confirming Altman Lied, Holding $70 Billion and Saying 'I Don't Want OpenAI to Be Destroyed'

Ilya Sutskever, former chief scientist of OpenAI, testified in Elon Musk's lawsuit against the company, alleging that CEO Sam Altman is a habitual liar who sowed discord among executives and created an environment that hindered serious AI safety discussions. Sutskever revealed he compiled a 52-page dossier on Altman's conduct over a year before the November 2023 boardroom attempt to oust him. He confirmed his OpenAI stake is worth $7 billion. During his testimony, Sutskever expressed regret over his role in the board's actions, citing a lack of experience and poor legal advice. He stated his reversal—signing a letter to reinstate Altman—was a desperate move to prevent OpenAI's collapse and a potential Microsoft takeover, saying, "I didn't want it to be destroyed." The trial also uncovered details about a potential OpenAI-Anthropic merger post-ouster and internal Microsoft communications pressuring for faster ChatGPT monetization. While Sutskever's testimony damaged Altman's credibility, it also countered part of Musk's case, as he stated he never promised Musk that OpenAI would remain non-profit. The trial's outcome could impact the future structure of the $850 billion-valued company.

The Exquisite Self-Interest of Former OpenAI CTO Murati: Personally Handing Over the Knife and Then Being the First to Seek Reconciliation

Court documents from Elon Musk's lawsuit reveal OpenAI's former CTO, Mira Murati, played a central and seemingly self-interested role in Sam Altman's November 2023 ouster and reinstatement. As early as 2022, she complained to Altman about his shifting priorities and pressure to prioritize revenue. By 2023, she privately supplied co-founder Ilya Sutskever with extensive internal evidence against Altman, which became a key 52-page memo for the board. She was appointed interim CEO after Altman's firing and informed Microsoft. However, text messages show Murati simultaneously relayed the board's stance to Altman while secretly urging Microsoft's CEO to help reverse the decision. Once employee backlash mounted, she refused to publicly defend the board's move she helped engineer. She then became the first signatory on the employee petition demanding the board resign and reinstate Altman. A former board member testified Murati was "waiting to see which way the wind blew," not realizing "she herself was the wind." The evidence depicts her actions as consistently aligning with her own interests throughout the crisis.

Large Models Devour Word

On April 10, 2026, Anthropic integrated Claude into Microsoft Word, completing its integration into the core Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). This allows Claude to operate directly within Word’s interface, offering features like contract review with tracked changes—red for deletions, green for insertions—without altering user habits. Microsoft’s strategy is to prioritize interface ownership over model ownership, believing distribution channels matter more as AI models commoditize. By hosting Claude via Azure, Microsoft retains users rather than risk losing them to external platforms. The integration has disrupted legal tech firms; companies like Thomson Reuters and RELX saw significant stock drops, as Claude offers advanced legal review at a fraction of the cost. While some legal tech firms resist, others, like LexisNexis, have incorporated Claude into their offerings. Anthropic’s approach represents a new form of disruption: rather than building a competing platform, it embeds itself inside dominant software, offering superior functionality at lower cost. This forces incumbents into a dilemma—blocking better tools may drive users away, while allowing them cultivates internal competitors.

Android Flaw Leaves 30 Million Crypto Wallets Open To Attack: Microsoft Analysts

Microsoft analysts revealed a critical security flaw in the EngageLab SDK (v4.5.4), leaving over 30 million Android crypto wallets vulnerable to attack. The "intent redirection" vulnerability allowed a malicious app to bypass Android's sandbox and gain read/write access to a wallet's private data, including seed phrases and keys, without any user interaction. A patch (SDK 5.2.1) was released in mid-2025. Users who haven't updated their apps since then are advised to not only update but also move their funds to new wallets with fresh seed phrases, as any unpatched wallet is considered compromised. The flaw also affected over 50 million apps in total.

70-Page Confidential Document's First Allegation: 'Lying', Altman Told the Board 'I Can't Change My Character'

In a major investigation, Pulitzer winner Ronan Farrow and Andrew Marantz reveal two previously undisclosed documents: a ~70-page confidential file compiled by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever and over 200 pages of internal notes by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei from his time at OpenAI. Sutskever’s file, which opens with the accusation that Sam Altman exhibited a "pattern of lying," alleges he misled executives and the board on safety protocols and corporate matters. Amodei’s notes similarly claim “the problem at OpenAI is Sam himself,” citing instances like Altman denying agreed-upon terms in Microsoft’s $1 billion deal. Key revelations include: - No written report was produced from the post-reinstatement independent investigation into Altman. - OpenAI’s superalignment team received only 1-2% of the promised computing resources, mostly on outdated clusters. - In 2018, executives considered a "National Plan" to auction AI tech to nations including China and Russia. - Microsoft executives expressed strong distrust toward Altman, with one comparing his risk profile to figures like Bernie Madoff. During a board call after his firing, Altman reportedly said, "I can’t change my personality," which a director interpreted as an admission of persistent dishonesty. Altman denies intentional deception, attributing his behavior to "well-intentioned adaptation" and conflict avoidance.

2.1 Gigawatt Computing Power Aircraft Carrier Sets Sail! Microsoft Takes Over Texas AI Factory Project, Moves into Same Campus as OpenAI

In the global AI computing race, Abilene, Texas, is emerging as a key strategic hub. Microsoft has officially taken over a large-scale data center construction project originally initiated by OpenAI. The collaboration, led by data center developer Crusoe, will see Microsoft and OpenAI as neighbors in the same campus. The project will feature two new state-of-the-art "AI factory" data centers, supported by a dedicated 900-megawatt power plant. With Microsoft’s involvement, the campus will expand to a total of 10 data center buildings, reaching a total computing capacity of 2.1 gigawatts. Notably, OpenAI has decided to halt further expansion at the Abilene site and will instead distribute new computing resources across other U.S. locations to optimize grid load and resource allocation. The campus already hosts major players like Microsoft, OpenAI, and Oracle. The 2.1-gigawatt scale signifies a shift from gigawatt-level to larger computing clusters, enabling improved energy sharing and reduced latency for AI model training. This transformation positions Abilene as a critical hub in global AI infrastructure, with physical proximity between Microsoft and OpenAI likely accelerating the development of next-generation large-scale AI models.

GitHub Announces Default Use of Copilot User Data for AI Model Training Starting April 24

GitHub has announced an update to its repository policy, effective April 24, 2026, allowing the use of user interaction data to train its AI models. The data collection will include users of Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+, covering model inputs and outputs, code snippets, contextual information, repository structures, and chat logs. According to GitHub’s Chief Product Officer Mario Rodriguez, the move aims to enhance the accuracy and security of the model’suggestions, with internal Microsoft tests already showing improved acceptance rates. The policy follows an opt-out model, meaning affected users must manually disable data sharing in their privacy settings, sparking debate within the developer community over data ownership and the definition of private repositories. Copilot Business, Enterprise, and educational users are currently exempt due to contractual terms. GitHub defended the change as consistent with industry practices adopted by companies like Anthropic, JetBrains, and Microsoft. However, the inclusion of private repository code in training sets challenges conventional notions of privacy. This shift reflects a broader industry trend where leading AI providers are turning to user interaction data as high-quality public code resources diminish. It signals GitHub’s continued transition from an open-source platform to a closed-loop AI training ecosystem and highlights growing tensions between data compliance and AI model advancement.
