In a San Francisco courtroom, the idealistic origins of one of the world's most consequential technology ventures are being examined under oath. OpenAI president Greg Brockman has testified that his working relationship with Elon Musk deteriorated into physical intimidation and irreconcilable disagreements over money, competence, and purpose. What began as a shared mission to develop artificial intelligence safely has arrived, years later, at a legal reckoning that asks whether noble intentions can survive the collision of ego and ambition.
