Advice for Elon: you can actually use ChatGPT on the web or the desktop app to schedule reminders for you, like "file lawsuit against OpenAI."
jordanb•25m ago
The consequences of relying on grok..
LarsDu88•16m ago
Did you not read the article at all? He had to do this in 2021, well before such GPT apps existed.
freejazz•10m ago
That's not what the article stated. The jury had to find that the harms occurred prior to certain dates in 2021, not that Musk had to file before then.
rvz•26m ago
Sam is just too good at this game and as I said before [0] is far worse than Elon and also outsmarted him.

Of course this will be appealed but, as you see the claims just don't stick.

[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41651664

armchairhacker•23m ago
Why do you think Sam is worse than Elon?
cozzyd•12m ago
Presumably better at being devious. Elon is sloppy...
foofyter•24m ago
He didn’t lose anything, it was a technicality that is up for interpretation. It’ll be appealed for sure. Both sides would agree with that.
russellbrandom•23m ago
He lost in the sense that he filed a lawsuit and that lawsuit was dismissed.

It seems like a reasonable way to use the word, no?

donkyrf•20m ago
Obviously so.

You're either responding to an LLM or a badly malfunctioning human.

stirfish•12m ago
An account that's two minutes old, defending Elon Musk in a way that makes no sense.
foofyter•9m ago
Attacking me instead of looking at the evidence makes no sense.
petesergeant•13m ago
I think it's fair to say the headline misleads, even if technically accurate. My initial read was that he had lost on the merits of the case, and not "jury rules Musk sued too late".
Legend2440•21m ago
He can appeal if he wants to, but if he had a good argument for why the statute of limitations shouldn't apply, he would already have brought it up.

Odds of him winning on appeal are low.

LastTrain•10m ago
Sure, losing is winning. I mean what are words anyway?
2b3a51•22m ago
Reached for comment by TechCrunch, Musk’s lead counsel Marc Toberoff said, “One word: Appeal.”

One wonders on what grounds?

In the UK, in a civil case like this, the judge I think comments on the likelihood of an appeal avenue once the verdict has been reached.

Legend2440•20m ago
On the grounds of "I have infinite money and lawyers to drag this thing out forever, whether I'll win or not."
2b3a51•14m ago
Nothing like 'vexatious litigation' in the US?

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vexatious-litigants

Legend2440•10m ago
There is, but it's a pretty high bar to clear. Merely exhausting one's appeals does not qualify as vexatious. He could keep going for years as long as his lawyers make vaguely plausible arguments each time.
ryandrake•19m ago
To be fair, is there any corporation or high net worth individual ever who, after losing a lawsuit, said “You know what, we accept the court’s decision that we were wrong and will be reflecting on how to do better in the future.”

Never. That never ever happens.

duskwuff•14m ago
> One wonders on what grounds?

Invent a time machine; send a lawyer back to file a new lawsuit within the statute of limitations.

artninja1988•11m ago
To any lawyers in here, is there an argument to be made for the statue of limitations not to apply here
pixl97•10m ago
Typically if they bring up a case like this a judge again will get pissy and dismiss it with prejudice.

You can try to file it again, but that gets to the point where the judge can throw your ass directly in jail for 30 days, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

colechristensen•8m ago
He lost on the grounds of a statue of limitations defense which is exactly the kind of thing which is easily appealable.

This was pretty much the quality of Elon's argumentation in court. Turns out "getting sick dunks" wins likes on Twitter, but it doesn't win lawsuits.
mustaphah•20m ago
The strongest evidence against Musk was Musk. His own 2017 emails supporting for-profit chats made the "betrayal" narrative very hard to sell.
dzonga•16m ago
Muskys problem is does things in the moment as a way to increase popularity without thinking that end up bitting him.

e.g the twitter thing - forced to buy when he didn't want.

mustaphah•13m ago

tahoeskibum•12m ago
Did you read the article:"...that his lawsuits had been filed too late."
exe34•12m ago
To be fair, twitter ended up useful for him when he used it to buy his way into the US government and close down all the departments that were investigating his companies for breaking all sorts of laws.
bonesss•7m ago
As a business transaction: Twitters acquisition is among the worst deals in human history.

As means to buy an election an Presidency: highly efficient use of capital with an undeniable short and long-term ROI.

ngruhn•6m ago
On the other hand, buying twitter was the turning point for his public image. Before that, he was Tony Stark. Now he's Lex Luthor.

shimman•3m ago

jjordan•4m ago
There was no decision made on this basis. It was dismissed entirely due to the elapsed statute of limitations.
trilogic•20m ago
Elon Musk lost? Judging by historical facts he nails it all the time, he is a winner. OFC California can´t cut it´s life line supply, but they will need to compromise somehow, Elon plan is ongoing :) Edit: He will surprise everyone like always
paxys•18m ago
> A nine-person jury found that Elon Musk did not bring his lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman until after the expiration of the three-year statute of limitations.

Intersting outcome. So it's more of a dismissal on technical grounds rather than a complete loss.

sdenton4•18m ago
A dismissal on technical grounds, which is also a complete loss.
loxodrome•16m ago
Ending a trial over a bureaucratic technicality is not good justice.
paxys•13m ago
Statute of limitations is not a "bureaucratic technicality", it is the law.
jacobp100•7m ago
It can be both
wagwang•7m ago
Can some lawyer explain the rationale of statute of limitations? Like why does a robber get to get away with the crime if they are able to evade the police for x number of years. Is it just because the trials suck after a while cuz no one remembers anything?
dcow•7m ago
I am absolutely certain that if Sam was suing xAI and the case got dismissed on a technicality people would be lined up with screeds about the injustice of the situation.
freejazz•11m ago
The jury found against Musk - what exactly are you talking about?
pixl97•9m ago
Like any case involving legal matters, they are talking about things they deeply do not understand.
tahoeskibum•13m ago
Anybody read the article:"...that his lawsuits had been filed too late."
modeless•2m ago
Yeah people are going to make up a lot of reasons why Elon lost that have nothing to do with the actual and very simple reason.
dcow•1m ago
Right. Nobody cares whether Musk won or lost (well maybe a few do). People actually following the case wanted to know whether OpenAI would be held in any way accountable for anything. And this “resolution” does not satisfy. Before Musk got involved, what happened at OpenAI was a BigProblem for many people.
tptacek•9m ago
I think a lot about how there's a very plausible alternate history where Elon Musk controls most of the frontier of AI.
sanderjd•4m ago
There but for the grace of god go we...
dragontamer•3m ago
You speak as if Elon Musk didn't buy tons of AI chips for full self driving (Dojo) and COMPLETELY flub it.

It's the same as always. Musk himself is an awful business man. He relies upon buying the success of others and taking over. Outside of that, he's kind of awful. Initiatives started by Musk himself almost inevitably fail.

Aurornis•3m ago
I've thought about that, too, but it would require that all of the key individuals at OpenAI would have been willing to stay at OpenAI under his ownership.

That seems unlikely to me given how divisive he is. OpenAI already had one existential leadership crisis without Musk. I doubt it would have faired better under his notoriously difficult leadership.
