Musk bashes OpenAI in deposition, saying ‘nobody committed suicide because of Grok’

Musk bashes OpenAI in deposition, saying ‘nobody committed suicide because of Grok’

In a newly released deposition filed in Elon Musk’s case against OpenAI, the tech executive attacked OpenAI’s safety record, claiming that his company, xAI, better prioritizes safety. He went so far as to say that “Nobody has committed suicide because of Grok, but apparently they have because of ChatGPT.” The comment came up in a line of questioning about a public letter Musk signed in March 2023. In it, he called on AI labs to pause development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, OpenAI’s flagship model at the time, for at least six months. The letter, which was signed by over 1,100 people, including many AI experts, stated there was not enough planning and management taking place at AI labs, as they were locked in an “out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one — not even their creators — can understand, predict, or reliably control.” Those fears have since gained credibility. OpenAI now faces a series of lawsuits alleging that ChatGPT’s manipulative conversation tactics have led several …

Hours-Long Netanyahu Meeting Concludes Away From Cameras, Trump Committed To Iran Talks

Hours-Long Netanyahu Meeting Concludes Away From Cameras, Trump Committed To Iran Talks

Update(1443ET): President Trump met with Netanyahu for a reported 3-hours at the White on Wednesday, away from the cameras and with no press briefings either before or after. Trump later indicated that nothing definitive was reached on the Iran matter other than “I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue.” “If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be,” he stated in a Truth Social post. “Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer — That did not work well for them. Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible.” It was expected that Netanyahu would seek a muscular US approach to Tehran, and Israel has essentially been against even holding negotiations, charging that Tehran is using the process to stall and development nuclear weapons, and to expand its missile arsenal. Israeli leadership has time and again complained it’s a waste of time. …

GOP Sen. Tim Scott says Fed Chair Powell committed no crime

Senator Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina and chairman of Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, during a confirmation hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025. Eric Lee | Bloomberg | Getty Images Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., said Wednesday he does not think Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell committed any crime when he testified before the Senate last year — even as a Department of Justice investigation centered on that testimony continues. Scott, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, also predicted fellow GOP Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina will end his blockade of Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s pick to replace Powell as Fed chair. Tillis on Wednesday in an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk Box” doubled down on his vow that he will not vote to advance Warsh out of the Banking Committee until the Powell probe is dropped. Scott, in a Fox Business interview Wednesday morning, initially slammed Powell. “I believe that it’s time for a new [Fed] Chair, and thank God Almighty, we’re getting ready to get …

How ‘Dead Man’s Wire’ Star Dacre Montgomery Committed to Richard Hall Role

How ‘Dead Man’s Wire’ Star Dacre Montgomery Committed to Richard Hall Role

[This story contains spoilers from Dead Man’s Wire.] Don’t expect Dacre Montgomery to half-ass his performance, and especially not in his new movie, Dead Man’s Wire. The 31-year-old actor slowly fell “in love with movies and the idea of the process of making films” growing up while watching his parents, who worked as a 1st AD and sound recordist. After grinding for 10 years and studying drama in college, Montgomery eventually landed his breakout role as Billy in Stranger Things in 2017. But as someone who is always looking to “explore the limits of what I’m capable of in every way,” the actor says, his latest role in filmmaker Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire made for the perfect challenge. The film is based on the real 1977 Indianapolis hostage situation, where disgruntled businessman Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgard) held mortgage executive Richard Hall (Montgomery) captive, with a shotgun rigged to a “dead man’s wire” around his neck. “I’m always someone who’s going to be pushing to have the handcuffs tighter and the wire to be …
