Elon Musk had a bad week in court | The Vergecast

Elon Musk spent a lot of his week trying to explain how OpenAI wronged him — but mostly just seemed to annoy everyone else in the courtroom. Nilay and David discuss Musk’s testimony in the OpenAI trial, and what it might mean for the trial going forward. After that, the Hype Desk gang recommends a couple of new things to watch, before the hosts chat about the week’s new gadgets, including the Steam Controller and the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo laptop. Finally, in the lightning round, Brendan Carr picks a fight over Jimmy Kimmel again, Netflix buys into the clip economy, and Taylor Swift fights the AI. 0:00 Welcome to The Vergecast 00:12 Nilay's Deposition Stories 01:35 Elon vs OpenAI Overview 06:13 Jury Selection Drama 09:18 Understanding Both Sides 11:35 Elon Takes the Stand 12:06 Cross Examination Begins 13:39 The Four Page Document 15:45 Losing His Temper 17:02 The Hypothetical Email 18:43 Making Sam Look Good 21:26 Judge's Unusual Remarks 25:19 Microsoft and OpenAI Split 26:29 The End of AGI 28:50 Moving to AWS 30:47 Consumer AI Backlash 36:16 Revealed Preferences Debate 38:11 Meta's Ad Strategy 40:00 AI Powered Ad Targeting 40:40 Creative as Targeting 41:33 Impact on Small Businesses 42:30 Enterprise AI Software 43:13 The Hype Desk 43:55 Widow's Bay Review 45:16 Apple TV Quality 46:37 Coyote versus Acme 49:03 Movie Theater Economics 52:30 Gadget News Begins 53:24 Steam Controller Deep Dive 55:38 Universal Remote Theory 59:16 Samsung Smart Glasses 01:00:22 Smart Glasses Social Cost 01:03:48 Wide Foldable Phones 01:05:17 Foldable Usage Reality 01:07:52 Motorola Razr Ultra 01:10:04 ASUS ROG Zephyrus Duo 01:14:22 Brendan Carr is a Dummy 01:15:32 White House Correspondents Dinner Shooting 01:16:00 Jimmy Kimmel Controversy 01:17:28 Brendan Carr Targets Disney 01:19:00 Bipartisan Pushback 01:20:43 License Renewal Process 01:22:24 FCC Commissioner Speaks Out 01:23:22 News Distortion Rule Lawsuit 01:26:29 Router Ban Update 01:31:09 Taylor Swift Trademark Strategy 01:34:5
