"Musk accuses Altman, Brockman, and its major partner Microsoft of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment in the lawsuit" [0]. But of course Musk runs an AI for-profit himself, amongst many other things he has done and said. So this is a very reasonable case with a very unreasonable plaintiff.

As a current juror I really do not feel for how long jury selection might have taken here, and I can imagine deliberation will take longer yet.

Let the funding go to some actual charitable foundation which offsets the very real negative externalities of large-scale AI, I say. That seems most likely to benefit humanity.
