"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/san-jose\">San José \u003c/a>will be the first California city to host a Professional Women’s Hockey League team — a milestone that organizers and athletes celebrate for the future of women’s sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team, which has yet to be named, will begin playing in Dec. 2026, the league announced Tuesday at a packed press conference at SAP Center. The team will share the arena with the National Hockey League’s San José Sharks, while the American Hockey League’s San José Barracuda will continue to play nearby at Tech CU Arena. The move makes San José the only U.S. city to host teams from the NHL, AHL and PWHL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement came together fast, said Jonathan Becher, president of Sharks Sports and Entertainment, who shared that formal negotiations took roughly two and a half weeks after years of trying to land the team, including an unsuccessful bid during the league’s last expansion round. “We’ve been hounding them for a long time, but they’ve been great to deal with,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Season ticket deposits opened Tuesday and were already well above the league’s first-day expectations, according to Becher, who declined to share the specific number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheduling around the Sharks and the arena’s more than 100 annual events will take some coordination, Becher acknowledged. He said the organization has navigated similar logistics before, when the Barracuda shared the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becher said that major construction of the building is still underway, and that the biggest concern has revolved around “how to make room for them, and for the Sharks, and for all the events because it’s one of the busiest buildings.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12084417\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12084417 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/PWHLSJ3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/PWHLSJ3.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/PWHLSJ3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/PWHLSJ3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San José Mayor Matt Mahan at the PWHL San José expansion announcement at SAP Center on May 19, 2026, in San José, California. \u003ccite>(Kavin Mistry/SAP Center)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The PWHL, which is centrally owned and operated, chose blue and orange as the team’s colors — a dual nod to San José’s identity while avoiding replication of the Sharks’ teal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mayor Matt Mahan took the opportunity to lobby for the San José Hammerheads as a potential team name, in honor of former Mayor Susan Hammer and to keep with the arena’s ocean theme. Becher confirmed that Hammerheads is on the shortlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team’s first home game date has not yet been confirmed, pending the release of the NHL schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s event drew Olympic gold medalists Brandi Chastain and Kristi Yamaguchi, both Bay Area natives, who framed the announcement as the latest chapter in a longer story about the trajectory of women’s sports.[aside postID=news_12080384 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/260510-VALKYRIESHOMEOPENER-29-BL-KQED.jpg']“I’ve been screaming about women’s sports for 50 or more years,” Chastain said. “The fact that we have this now — we have WNBA, we have soccer, we have hockey — it is incredible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamaguchi pointed to the league’s 60-plus Olympians and the recent surge in women’s sports viewership as signs of what’s to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past, we kind of looked to the Olympics once every four years to watch elite women’s hockey,” Yamaguchi said. “Now we’ll be able to see it every single week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amy Scheer, PWHL executive vice president of business operations, noted that women’s hockey in California actually dates back more than a century. She referenced a 1916 game played by a Bay Area team called the Oakland Minervas, which drew 1,200 fans and sparked a brief boom in the sport before it eventually faded. But, Scheer said, this time, the PWHL intends to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going nowhere,” Scheer said. “We are here for the long term and will continue to build women’s hockey and keep growing, growing and growing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chastain, a co-founder of Bay FC, said she hopes the arrival of the PWHL signals not just more teams, but more women in leadership — as coaches, executives and decision-makers across sports franchises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I look forward to breaking other barriers,” she said. “A female head coach in Major League Soccer, in hockey, in baseball, in the NBA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Chastain added, “I want it to be done here in the Bay Area first.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The team will share the arena with the National Hockey League’s San José Sharks, while the American Hockey League’s San José Barracuda will continue to play nearby at Tech CU Arena. The move makes San José the only U.S. city to host teams from the NHL, AHL and PWHL.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement came together fast, said Jonathan Becher, president of Sharks Sports and Entertainment, who shared that formal negotiations took roughly two and a half weeks after years of trying to land the team, including an unsuccessful bid during the league’s last expansion round. “We’ve been hounding them for a long time, but they’ve been great to deal with,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Musk, who provided $38 million in early funding, has accused his former OpenAI co-founders Altman and Greg Brockman of “stealing a charity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OpenAI’s executives, on the other hand, have said Musk only sued after he brought his own AI competitor, xAI, onto the market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his closing statement, Musk’s lead counsel, Steven Molo, focused on Altman’s credibility.

In 2023, Molo continued, after OpenAI made a $10 billion deal with Microsoft, the company failed to prioritize safety, abandoned its commitment to open sourcing and “enriched investors and insiders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re motivated by money: Microsoft and Altman,” Molo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella testified that the company had invested $13 billion and expects to see a return of about $92 billion.

The executives had begun discussing a for-profit expansion that year to solicit more funding for top talent and “compute” to compete with other industry leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Musk departed OpenAI in February 2018, after a falling-out with the other executives over those discussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12075382\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12075382\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260304-Elon-Musk-Trial-01-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260304-Elon-Musk-Trial-01-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260304-Elon-Musk-Trial-01-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/03/260304-Elon-Musk-Trial-01-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A courtroom sketch of Elon Musk on the stand as he’s questioned by the plaintiff’s attorney, Aaron P.

To acquire the compute — or the GPUs and CPUs needed to power AI — and funding they needed to pursue artificial general intelligence, or a superintelligent AI technology known as AGI, the company would need more significant investments, the executives determined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought, of course, we needed to raise billions to quickly ramp,” he said. “I saw no way to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman, Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI and Ilya Sutskever, a former top OpenAI computer scientist and member of its founding team, have said that in those conversations, Musk repeatedly proposed plans that would give him majority control. Initially, Altman said that he asked for 90% equity in a potential for-profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other executives pushed back on this request, including in an email Altman sent to Musk at the time, in which he said, “I am worried about control. I don’t think any one person should have control of the world’s first AGI — in fact, the whole reason we started OpenAI is so that wouldn’t happen.”[aside postID=news_12083224 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/05/SamAltmanGetty.jpg']Altman described Musk as “mercurial,” and said that when he left OpenAI in February 2018, after for-profit discussions fell apart, “people wondered if he’d try to take a vengeance on us” — which both he and his attorney, William Savitt, have alleged is exactly what Musk’s lawsuit aims to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his cross-examination, though, Musk’s counsel Steven Molo seemed to suggest that it is Altman who has amassed significant control over OpenAI since it did launch a for-profit arm in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molo asked Altman about the testimonies of various former OpenAI executives, who said he was untrustworthy and had a history of lying. Altman denied hearing those testimonies, but when asked if he had “repeatedly been called a liar” by people he has done business with, he said, “I have heard people say that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molo said that Altman sits on the board of directors for both the OpenAI Foundation, the nonprofit arm, and OpenAI’s for-profit. He is also the company’s CEO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Would you ever fire yourself as the CEO of the for-profit?” Molo said, adding that the board of the nonprofit is supposed to provide oversight for the chief officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman said that CEOs are “almost always” on their company’s boards.

During the five-day ouster, there were long negotiations behind the scenes about whether Altman would return, and who would be on the board if he did.
