Savitt Put Musk's Cap Table On Screen. The Charity Story Got Smaller.

Savitt Put Musk's Cap Table On Screen. The Charity Story Got Smaller.

Elon Musk testified Wednesday he was a fool for funding OpenAI. Then OpenAI's lawyer put a 2017 cap table on the courtroom screen showing Musk would have held 51.20 percent of the proposed for-profit, with cofounders Altman, Sutskever, and Brockman each at 11.01 percent. The screen kept showing his own emails, his own depositions, his own tweets. Day three of the trial narrowed the case from a charity-theft argument to a control-loss argument. Cross-examination resumes Thursday.

Matt Pocock skills repo jumps past 45K stars with reusable AI instructions

Matt Pocock's Claude Code skills repo turned a private .claude folder into one of GitHub's fastest-rising AI coding artifacts this week. The live count has already outrun the 36K-star video that made it visible, and the repo's small markdown files show why developers are packaging agent behavior as shared process instead of one-off prompts. The deeper shift is not in the codebase, but in what teams now maintain beside it. That makes the count a surface signal.

HybridClaw Pitches German Agent Controls as Hermes Tops 120,000 Stars

HybridClaw is trying to turn the Hermes and OpenClaw agent wave into something companies can run without guessing what a bot just did. The German-built runtime has only a fraction of Hermes' GitHub attention, but its pitch is different: encrypted credentials, approvals, audit logs, migration paths and EU-hosted workflows for the dull work inside finance, support and BI teams. The open question is whether customer deployments prove the control story.

The Tools to Halve Your AI Bill Are Free. Nobody at the Company Owns Them.

A cold Claude Code session loses 50.6% of its context to overhead and reserve before you type. One flag halves daily spend. Claude burns 3-4x the tokens of Codex for a 1.4-point quality delta. Tools to cut AI costs are free and mature. Almost nobody installs them. Here is why.

Cloud Growth Gives Big Tech More Time to Keep Spending

Four Big Tech earnings reports turned the AI spending debate into a forward-looking scorecard. Alphabet had the sharper surprise; Microsoft had the cleanest monetization story. Meta and Amazon still have harder spending questions to answer.

Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon reported earnings in the same after-market window, giving investors a direct comparison of AI infrastructure spending. Alphabet had the sharper immediate reaction, but Microsoft still had the cleanest monetization story. Amazon showed an AWS rebound with weaker free cash flow, while Meta's higher capex left investors waiting for clearer AI returns.
