Engadget

After three weeks of testimony and not much deliberation, a jury has ruled against Elon Musk, finding that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman were not liable in the case. The jury found that the statute of limitations had already passed when Musk sued the two executives. Musk filed his lawsuit in 2024, accusing them of stealing a charity following his departure from the AI lab in 2018. Though the jury in the case served only an advisory role, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers agreed with the jury's ruling. Musk's claims of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment are dismissed as untimely, she said according to Though Musk could still appeal the ruling, Rogers told his lawyer she would dismiss an appeal on the spot.

Elon Musk Loses Landmark Lawsuit Against OpenAI

WIRED

The nine-member panel took only two hours to return a verdict in favor of OpenAI on Monday, which the judge quickly adopted as her own final decision. Elon Musk suffered the worst defeat possible in his legal battle against OpenAI as a federal jury and a judge ruled he waited too long to bring his claims against the AI startup and its top executives, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. The jury's decision was a nonbinding recommendation sent to US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, though she immediately accepted it on Monday as her own, making it final. The nine-member panel delivered the unanimous verdict in an Oakland, California courtroom after deliberating for under two hours. They found that statutes of limitations expired well before Musk filed his lawsuit in 2024.

PCWorld

ChatGPT Pro users can now connect banking and investment accounts from over 12,000 financial institutions through Plaid integration for personalized financial insights.

If there's one area where LLMs excel, it's plowing through reams of data and teasing out patterns, trends, and insights. So it's not surprising that OpenAI is zeroing in on personal finance, with ChatGPT now capable of delving into our banking, checking, and investment accounts .

Inside Anduril and Meta's quest to make smart glasses for warfare

MIT Technology Review

Inside Anduril and Meta's quest to make smart glasses for warfare It's been a year since the duo entered the US Army's troubled augmented-reality contest. Here's what it looks like so far. The defense-tech company Anduril has shared new details about the augmented-reality headset for the military it's prototyping with Meta, including a vision for ordering drone strikes via eye-tracking and voice commands. Quay Barnett, who leads the efforts as a vice president at Anduril following a career in the Army's Special Operations Command, says his fundamental goal is to optimize "the human as a weapons system." The vision is undoubtedly cyborg-inspired: Barnett wants drones and soldiers to see together, share information seamlessly, and make decisions as one. Anduril actually has two such projects in the works.


Microsoft admits faulty drivers were killing Windows 11 battery life for years

PCWorld

Microsoft has acknowledged that faulty third-party drivers have been causing significant battery drain and performance issues in Windows 11 and older versions for years.

Microsoft is implementing stricter driver evaluation processes that will assess power consumption, heat generation, and performance impact, with automatic rollback capabilities to block problematic drivers. It sucks when a failing battery or a slow PC lets you down at crucial moments--and Windows 11 in particular has repeatedly struggled with such issues. Microsoft now officially acknowledges that these problems appear to be linked to faulty drivers.
