Apple on Friday accused OpenAI of stealing secrets about products still in development, setting up a legal face-off between two of the world’s biggest tech companies.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the consumer tech giant said that OpenAI, a leader in artificial intelligence that has a new hardware business, had asked job candidates from Apple to share details about secret projects and to bring device components and prototypes to their interviews.
Apple also accused an OpenAI employee of downloading internal documents from a laptop owned by the iPhone maker.
OpenAI used the confidential information to approach Apple’s manufacturing partners, including asking one partner to demonstrate Apple’s technique for finishing metal on its devices, the lawsuit says.
It’s kinda insane to frame OpenAI as remotely equal to Apple with “two of the world’s biggest tech companies”.
Apple has multiple profitable revenue streams, hundreds of physical stores, that giant donut super villain headquarters, they basically own multiple factory towns in Asia, and on top of it they have an ocean of capital hidden somewhere for a “rainy century” scenario. I think their only consistent loss leader is AppleTv, right?
OpenAI’s business is generating something embarrassing like $100 for every $1000 spent (just random exaggerated numbers as sarcasm).
This outrageously dishonest narrative is being pushed constantly everywhere and I am more than just sick of it.
I hate apple more than open ai
I cant say I hate one more than the other, but I have hated Apple for much longer than I have hated OpenAI.
I hate them with like different flavours.
Are the flavors something like: Apple is built on captive labor while OpenAI is built on stolen art
