Important nuance: the jury at this Musk-OpenAI trial is an advisory jury, hence not binding on the judge, and is only looking at liability (not damages, if any). Thanks to @bahhradx for correcting an earlier misstatement of mine. Just to point out about the last line here: "If jury figures that out, OpenAI loses." The jury verdict will be advisory. in other words Judge Rogers will still decide the facts on her own & doesn't need to defer to their findings.
