Sam Altman faces awkward grilling over 'toxic culture of lying'

Musk's attorney, Steven Molo, opened his cross-examination of Altman with the blunt question: "Are you completely trustworthy?" "I believe so," Altman told the federal California jury in the civil trial of Musk's lawsuit against Altman and OpenAI. "You don't know whether you're completely trustworthy?" Molo followed up, forcing Altman to respond, "I'll just amend my answer to yes." Molo then peppered Altman with questions about whether the billionaire chief executive tells the truth, lies to advance his business interests, or misleads the people he works with.
