datakan | on: Apple says more ex-employees may have taken confidential data to OpenAI
Really don't like all the drama around this. Should be dealt with in court, not tried in the press.

Both sides should learn to remain silent and work the case through legal channels.

Why are you both-sidesing this?

Apple is doing it right, simple high level statements.

OpenAI is acting like a teenager posting screenshots of literal texts and being overall petulant.

This is open and shut. The mature company will win this.

> Apple is doing it right, simple high level statements

More to OP's points, Apple made legal filings. OpenAI is penning blog posts.

"Apple is doing it right, simple high level statements."

Apple does this to most any company that ends up with any of its former employees. It's basically expected. Apple is being the bully.

Nah , OpenAI doing it right , defending its interest and valuable employee with both legal and public from competing company negative oppinion.

This, and the books, and the government contracts, and the distillation… It’s like that one friend who complains how drama always finds them and they are clueless why.

It's 2026; we can probably update "pound the table" to "pound social media"

The whole affair and the blog post feels like proxy signal to potential investors from OpenAI that they have now developed/acquired tech that is worth enough to grab Apple's attention ?

I mean, they are dealing with it in the courts, right? This is the press picking up on public court filings https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73602437/49/apple-inc-v...

Seems to be Altman's playbook, just like how he got the CEO job back.

It's OpenAI still trying to maintain control of the narrative while they burn to the ground. For years they haven't really delivered while bullying anyone who doesn't have an "AI strategy".

The media is happy to stoke the flames.

This isn't a "both sides" situation.

OpenAI is posting drama blog posts. Apple isn't doing that.

"Apple says" in the headline here actually means: Apple filed for a preliminary injunction with the court and since that is a public record we are reporting the contents of it.

Why? Apple surely doesn't want to and why should they?

Huh? Apple is literally working through legal channels, the article is pulled from the court filings which are public record. OpenAI is the one making blog posts.
