A tech trial took an unusual turn when OpenAI's lawyers tried to submit a "jackass" trophy as evidence. The trophy was awarded to chief futurist Joshua Achiam after Elon Musk reportedly called him a "jackass" in a meeting. It reads: "never stop being a jackass for safety." What's interesting is this follows other strange moments in a trial that could reshape a major AI company. The trophy is described as "half of a donkey — the ass part — cast in chintzy gold." It's apparently well-known among early OpenAI employees. The bottom line is this legal battle is revealing some very colorful details about the early days of a leading AI firm.
