Ilya's in the court of revenge

Original source:Shinjimoto

Read: Ilya has just appeared in court! He testified under oath in Mask v. Openai: he spent one year collecting evidence of Ottman's “systematic lies” and putting it on board in 52 pages. Moreover, for the first time, he confirmed ownership of approximately $7 billion in OpenAI shares. Otmann's the fastest trial on Tuesday. The big show's coming。

Mask filed a lawsuit against Openai, finally waiting for Ilya to appear in court

Federal Court of Auckland, California, 11 May 2026。

When Ilya Sutskever, a talented scientist with curly hair and a slightly depressed look, walked to the witness stand, everyone was able to hold their breath。

Wherever it appears, Ilya attracts the attention of everyone, not to mention at the trial in Mask against OpenAI。

This time, Ilya is not the one who apologized for "I deeply regret" on social media, but the one who returned with the "heavy bomb."。

Not only did he personally confirm Ottmann ' s lying nature, but he also revealed to the world the power black hole under OpenAI ' s gorgeous coat。

THIS IS THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE "AI PALACE FIGHT" THAT IS DESTINED FOR HISTORY。

This trial may determine the future of OpenAI — a company that is preparing trillions of dollars for IPO, valued at 850 billion dollars。

Otman's the fastest in person on Tuesday。

52 pages of "Leave evidence": "Ottman in the eyes of that man."

"He habitually lies, provokes executive relations and undermines corporate governance."

When Ilya made this statement under oath, the current management of OpenAI, sitting on the dock, was in direct black。

This is no longer anecdotal, but rather court testimony from former chief scientist OpenAI。

This time, Ilya revealed an amazing detail that had never been revealed before: before the November coup that shocked the world in 2023, he had secretly collected evidence for an entire year。

This document is 52 pages long。

In this collection of Otman's materials, there is a detailed account of how Otman plays power。

For example, he's the one who's good at picking up a room。

He always doesTo create a contradiction between the Chief Technical Officer, Mira Murati, and other executives, allowing them to speculate about each other, thereby establishing their absolute authority。

He is also very good at information manipulation。

Ilya testified that Otmann had created an environment in which “the executives were unable to obtain correct information”. In such an environment, any serious discussion of AI ' s security would be diluted by Otmann ' s false market vision。

This time, Ilya put it bluntly that Ottmann's actions "are not conducive to the achievement of any ambitious goals", especially the development of safe AGI。

"I spent a year watching and thinking, and eventually I thought it was appropriate to fire him."

Ilya's speech is smooth, but it's bloody. He admitted that he had had extensive discussions with Murati and that the two men felt a sense of unease at the actions of Otmann。

$7 billion of "treachers": the price of idealists

Next, another orgasm in the trial。

As co-founder of OpenAI, Ilya has always been considered a "pure scientist". But when the judge asked him about his shareholding value, the number shocked the whole scene: & nbsp;$7 billion。

Just a week ago, the president of OpenAI, Greg Brockman, had just admitted to holding a $30 billion stake。

And Otman, who was accused by Mask of being “smuggled by interests”, is worth about $3.5 billion (mainly from his external investments)。

Ironically, those who used to label “non-profit” are now the fastest-growing rich people in human history。

But Ilya showed a near tragic contradiction in court。

He mentioned that in order to join OpenAI, he refused to renew Google for $6 million a year. And then he saw it as "astronomical numbers."。

He explained why, on the weekend of the coup week, he would suddenly turn to the helm to sign a joint letter demanding the return of Otmann。

"That was a "Hail Mary" prayer, and Ilya's voice was low, "I saw the company crashing and Microsoft was about to annex us all."

At that time, the situation deteriorated more rapidly than everyone had expected. A lot of people say they want to go with Otman. The company faced dissolution。

Ilya later expressed regret — not to gather evidence or vote for dismissal, but to “participate in the actions of the board”. He criticized the Board colleagues for lack of experience, for accepting "bad legal advice" and for being too hasty。

On Monday in court, when he said that, the entire gallery was quiet。

"I have a strong sense of belonging to OpenAI. I think I put my life into it. I just care about it. I don't want it destroyed

OpenAI Mafia Panorama

Moreover, this trial led to the discovery of an "OpenAI Gang" landscape。

He left OpenAI in May 2024 and founded Safe Superintellince. By April 2026, the company had raised $3 billion, valued at $32 billion。

Dario and Daniela Amodei left to create Anthropic, and anecdotal valuation hit trillions。

Mira Murati founded Thinking Machines Lab, completing a $2 billion seeder last year with a 12 billion valuation, with two thirds of the team being OpenAI alumni。

Aravind Srinivas founded Perplexity, valued at $20 billion. Liam Fedus founded the Petrodic Labs, with an estimated 7 billion。

Intriguingly, the reasons for their departure varied, but almost every one of them was linked to Otmann's leadership style。

Anthropic merger almost happened

Ilya's testimony is not just about Otmann。

He confirmed a story he had only heard before: Following Ottman ' s brief dismissal, the remaining board members of OpenAI met with Anthropic to discuss a programme for the integration of OpenAI by Anthropic and to take over the leadership。

Ilya says he's not very interested in it。

This detail is the point of time -- that weekend in November 2023, OpenAI almost became part of Anthropic。

IF THAT MERGER WERE MADE, TODAY'S AI PATTERN WOULD BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT。

The Shadow of Microsoft: Nadra's "overtake" ambition

If Ilya exposes internal decomposition, then Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who subsequently appeared, demonstrates the cold logic of capital。

nadra described the recall as “amateur city”, saying that he “has never been clearly explained”。

But the court documents reveal the other side of Nadella。

According to a 2022 mail published by the court, Nadra was mad at his subordinates: "If we had invested so much money and had no control, it would have been pointless!"

At the behest of lawyer Mask, Nadra admitted that, when the coup d'état took place in 2023, Microsoft had prepared a list of 14 “take-over boards” and exercised de facto “right of veto” on the new board members of OpenAI。

Even worse, Nadra sent successive text messages in early 2023 urging Ottmann to "send the paid subscription to ChatGPT as soon as possible."

Two weeks later, he was again asking about enrolment。

This is a direct complaint from Mask: OpenAI is not a scientific laboratory, but is Microsoft's "IT department" and liquidity machine。

And that is exactly the heart of the Musk allegation: OpenAI deviates from its non-profit mission。

Mask's anger: The dream of being a "white prostitute"

Sitting under the table in Mask, perhaps showing a complex smile。

At the heart of this trial is: did Ottmann cheat on Mask's early investment and brand endorsement through a false “non-profit” promise, and then sell the results to Microsoft

Although Ilya was not entirely on the side of Mask in her testimony (he denied having promised Mask that OpenAI would never be profitable), his attack on Otmann personality undoubtedly provided the strongest ammunition for the Musk proceedings。

Ilya mentioned that he was also opposed to Mask's proposal to integrate OpenAI into Tesla, arguing that Mask was “absorbing”。

The central allegation of Musk is that Ottmann and Brockman have violated OpenAI ' s commitment to remain non-profit for all time and have turned to profit。

Ilya's testimony on this issue is in favour of OpenAI。

He says he "has never promised Musk that OpenAI would remain non-profit."。

He said something that might be repeated:"The mission of OpenAI is greater than its non-profit or profit-making structure."

So far, there have been no more heroes. It's more like a group of geniuses on the road to the altar of God, where interests, power and the right to define the future of humanity are the dirtyst of the flesh。

The end is coming: OpenAI or OpenMoney

The trial continues。

On Tuesday, Ottoman will appear in person。

The situation is extremely dangerous for OpenAI。

If the judge finally found that OpenAI had violated the original non-profit contract, its profit-making entity, valued at $85 billion, might face structural reorganization。

Ilya sat on the witness stand for about an hour. According to Wired, he had little eye contact with anyone throughout his journey。

This man, once the soul of OpenAI, was the leader who led the employees at the company's meeting shouting "Feel AGI."。

Today, he appears to be alone and dead in a shirt without a suit. And he said before the court, “I have thrown my life into Openai, and I do not want it to be destroyed.”

But the reality is, the pure OpenAI he loved, probably died as long ago as the first page of 52 pages of evidence。

THIS TRIAL IS NOT ABOUT THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF A COMPANY, BUT ABOUT THE CORE CONTRADICTION OF SILICON VALLEY TODAY: CAN WE KEEP OUR LAST WORDS WHEN THE TECHNOLOGY LEADING TO GOD'S POWER (AGI) COLLIDS WITH EXTREME HUMAN GREED

Next Thursday, the judge will present his closing arguments。

AND THE HUMAN RIGHT TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF AI MAY BE TRANSPOSED IN THESE PAGES。
