A lot of the discussion here is pretty surprising. Saying "The information is in people's heads" is wild considering the allegations involve taking screenshots of documents, not just fond memories of working on hardware. Apple deserves a lot of criticism for how it's acted when losing employees, but these allegations are about a lot more than that.

If OpenAI is willing to encourage people to commit literal crimes on their behalf as clumsily as we've seen evidence of, why would they hesitate to try and shift opinion on a site like this? Plus there has always been a bitter contingent of devs that hate the terms of getting on the App Store, and people who hate any hardware they can't fully control from the NAND up.

Openai and their loyals absolutely use bots to change public opinion. There has been a massive psyop campaign ever since the DOD contract that they signed.

Good thing there’s no bitter contingent of devs who hate Sam!

He’s arguably one of the more hated public figures outside of politics, it would be much easier to list his die-hard fans.

Does Musk count as outside or inside politics?

Both Musk and Sam Altman count. They are very active in politics.

wait I can't find "The information is in people's heads" in that article

(what's the exact phrase?)

btw, if that's the problem, why not chop it off before leaving?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Apple still has to prove the allegations and show that they justify an injunction against the product itself

You think Apple would go through all this trouble if they didn't think they had a rock-solid case?

Absolutely. I don’t know how strong their case is or isn’t, BUT if you hire Jony Ive and a bunch of Apple device people in order to build something that is a threat to the “Apple tax” revenue machine, they are coming after you without a doubt.

Yes. They have done so in the past and according to open ai they have lied with certain details. This article portrays Apple quite differently

I may be ignorant on the matter, maybe they've done that kind of thing before.

>according to OpenAI

The most juvenile "press release" I've ever seen a company post on purpose isn't the strongest evidence against them, though. Forgive me if I take everything OpenAI say with an ocean's worth of salt.

All openAI has to do is actually live up to their name and literally all will be forgiven among the good people in tech
