Behold, the Elon Musk jackass trophy

瞧，这就是那个“埃隆·马斯克混蛋奖杯”

Unfortunately, Musk v. Altman jurors didn’t get to see the trophy for themselves. 遗憾的是，在马斯克诉奥特曼一案中，陪审团成员没能亲眼见到这个奖杯。

Yesterday, in Musk v. Altman, before the jurors came in, Sam Altman’s team passed up what looked — from a distance — like a little league trophy. It was not. Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers had the lawyers read the inscription aloud for the press: “Never stop being a jackass.” It’s a commemoration OpenAI employees bought for research scientist Josh Achiam, who testified yesterday. 昨天，在马斯克诉奥特曼案的庭审现场，陪审团入场前，萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）的律师团队递上了一个从远处看像小联盟奖杯的东西。但它并非如此。法官伊冯·冈萨雷斯·罗杰斯（Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers）让律师们当着媒体的面大声读出了上面的铭文：“永远别停止做一个混蛋”（Never stop being a jackass）。这是 OpenAI 员工为研究科学家乔什·阿奇姆（Josh Achiam）购买的纪念品，阿奇姆昨天也出庭作证了。

How exactly did this come up in a trial about nonprofit contract law? Allegedly, when Elon Musk was leaving OpenAI, he talked about wanting to race ahead of Google. Achiam, who worked on AI safety, asked if that was really such a good idea. Musk called him a jackass. Years later, Musk is portraying his lawsuit as an attempt to avoid AI causing serious harm — something that, Altman’s team suggests, wasn’t high on his list of concerns back then. 这个奖杯究竟是如何出现在一场关于非营利组织合同法的审判中的呢？据称，当埃隆·马斯克离开 OpenAI 时，他曾谈到想要在竞争中领先谷歌。负责 AI 安全工作的阿奇姆当时询问这是否真的是个好主意，结果马斯克骂他是“混蛋”。多年后的今天，马斯克将他的诉讼描述为旨在防止 AI 造成严重伤害的努力——而奥特曼的团队暗示，这在当时马斯克关心的事项清单中，恐怕排不上号。

During his own direct testimony, Musk denied the incident took place, saying that he might have said something like, “Don’t be a jackass.” 在马斯克自己的直接证词中，他否认了这一事件的发生，称他当时可能说的是类似“别做个混蛋”这样的话。

YGR ruled that the jurors would not get to see the trophy unless Musk’s team gave OpenAI a reason to introduce it, so they only heard about it. But now you can see it for yourself. 法官罗杰斯裁定，除非马斯克的团队给 OpenAI 一个展示该奖杯的理由，否则陪审团成员将无法看到它，因此他们只是听说了这件事。但现在，你可以亲眼看看它了。
