The 25-year-old hit 105 homers over his first four seasons, twice hitting 30 or more.</p> </section><section id="section-8"> <p>“He’s going to hit homers. We know that,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said of the two-time All-Star, who has two home runs, 15 RBIs and a .289 batting average this season. “Just putting good swings on the ball more frequently is going to lead to that. He’s got unbelievable ability all around.”</p> </section><section id="section-9"> <p>Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez also homered for the second time in three games. He nearly had two home runs in the contest, but his other shot was a liner that wasn’t high enough to clear the wall. He was held to a single on that bid.</p> </section><section id="section-10"> <p>Shea Langeliers had three hits and Jacob Wilson had an RBI single on a frustrating night for the A’s, who left 14 runners on base.</p> </section><br/><section id="section-11"> <p>“We’re not getting that hit we need to extend leads and have some margin for error,” Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said. “Tough loss. … We played a really good game except for offense. We just couldn’t get a hit.”</p> </section> <section id="section-12"> <p>Athletics left fielder Tyler Soderstrom injured his right shoulder and was a little woozy after he missed on a diving catch in the fifth. He was replaced prior to the top of the sixth.</p> </section><section id="section-13"> <p>“There’s not signs of a concussion right now,” Kotsay said, “but obviously that dive, if you watch it, he slammed down pretty hard, fully extended.”</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>Kansas City outfielder Jonathan India (shoulder) underwent season-ending surgery on Tuesday, while first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino (lower back tightness) exited in the sixth inning.

How Shivon Zilis Operated as Elon Musk’s OpenAI Insider<div><p><span class="lead-in-text-callout">As the first</span> week of <a href="https://www.wired.com/tag/musk-altman-trial/" class="text link">trial</a> in <em>Musk v. Altman</em> comes to a close, one person has emerged as a critical behind-the-scenes manager of communications and egos in <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/model-behavior-elon-musk-cross-examined-sam-altman/" class="text link">OpenAI’s early years</a>: Shivon Zilis.</p><p class="paywall">A longtime employee of Musk and the mother to four of his children, Zilis joined OpenAI as an adviser in 2016. She later served as a director of its nonprofit board from 2020 until 2023 and has worked as an executive at Musk’s other companies, Neuralink and Tesla.</p><p class="paywall">When asked about the nature of his relationship with Zilis in court, Musk offered several answers. At one point, he called her a “chief of staff.” Later, a “close adviser.” At another point, he said “we live together, and she’s the mother of four of my children,” though Zilis <a data-offer-url="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69013420/454/5/musk-v-altman/" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69013420/454/5/musk-v-altman/"}" href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69013420/454/5/musk-v-altman/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">said in a deposition</a> that Musk is more of a regular guest and maintains his own residence. Last September, Zilis told OpenAI’s attorneys that she became romantic with Musk around 2016 after she had become an informal adviser to OpenAI. They had their first two children in 2021, <a data-offer-url="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69013420/455/3/musk-v-altman/" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69013420/455/3/musk-v-altman/"}" href="https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69013420/455/3/musk-v-altman/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">she said</a>.</p><p class="paywall">But OpenAI’s lawyers have made the case in witness testimonies and evidence that her most important role, as it pertains to this lawsuit, is being a covert liaison between OpenAI and Musk, even years after he left the nonprofit’s board in February 2018.</p><p class="paywall">“Do you prefer I stay close and friendly to OpenAI to keep info flowing or begin to disassociate? Trust game is about to get tricky so any guidance for how to do right by you is appreciated,” Zilis wrote in a <a data-offer-url="https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213931357107?sb=/details" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213931357107?sb=/details"}" href="https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213931357107?sb=/details" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">text message</a> to Musk on February 16, 2018, days before OpenAI <a data-offer-url="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/21/elon-musk-is-leaving-the-board-of-openai.html" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/21/elon-musk-is-leaving-the-board-of-openai.html"}" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/21/elon-musk-is-leaving-the-board-of-openai.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">announced</a> he was leaving the board. Musk responded, “Close and friendly, but we are going to actively try to move three or four people from OpenAI to Tesla. More than that will join over time, but we won’t actively recruit them.”</p><p class="paywall">When asked about this exchange on the witness stand, Musk said he “wanted to know what’s going on.”</p><p class="paywall">In the same text thread, Musk wrote, “There is little chance of OpenAI being a serious force if I focus on Tesla AI.” Zilis reaffirmed him, saying: “There is very low probability of a good future if someone doesn’t slow Demis down,” referring to Demis Hassabis, the leader of Google DeepMind, who Musk has said he didn’t trust to control a superintelligent AI system. “You don’t realize how much you have an ability to influence him directly or otherwise slow him down. I think you know I’m not a malicious person, but in this case it feels fundamentally irresponsible to not find a way to slow or alter his path.”</p><p class="paywall">Roughly two months later, in an <a data-offer-url="https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213915468830" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213915468830"}" href="https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2213915468830" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">email</a> from April 23, 2018, Zilis updated Musk on OpenAI’s fundraising efforts and progress on a project to develop an AI that could play video games. In the same message, she said she had reallocated most of her time away from OpenAI to his other companies, Neuralink and Tesla, but told him, “If you’d prefer I pull more hours back to OpenAI oversight please let me know.”</p><p class="paywall">Almost a year earlier, in the summer of 2017, OpenAI’s cofounders had started negotiating changes to the organization’s corporate structure—Musk wanted control of the company to start out. In an <a data-offer-url="https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2212929023475?sb=/details" class="external-link text link" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLink","outgoingURL":"https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2212929023475?sb=/details"}" href="https://app.box.com/s/d8dxew0n3g2xg13y5812lioqa9hxyoo4/file/2212929023475?sb=/details" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">email</a> from August 28, 2017, Zilis wrote to Musk that she had met with OpenAI president Greg Brockman and cofounder Ilya Sutskever to discuss how equity would be divided up in the new company. She summarized points from the meeting, including that Brockman and Sutskever thought one person shouldn’t have unilateral power over AGI, should they develop it. Musk wrote back to Zilis, “This is very annoying. Please encourage them to go start a company. I’ve had enough.”</p></div>#Shivon #Zilis #Operated #Elon #Musks #OpenAI #Insidermodel behavior,artificial intelligence,openai,elon musk,sam altman,neuralink,musk v. altman trial
