Apple’s lawsuit is already hurting OpenAI, long before a verdict

Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI may not reach a courtroom for years. It is already doing damage. When Apple sued OpenAI on Friday for stealing hardware trade secrets, the attention went to the lurid detail. There were “show and tell” interviews and an engineer who kept his work laptop. One even texted a colleague: “LOL, I [] This story continues at The Next Web

Apple sues OpenAI for theft of “trade secrets”
Apple sued OpenAI on Friday, alleging the AI company has stolen the iPhone maker’s trade secrets to develop its own yet-to-be-unveiled AI gadgets. In the suit, filed in the District Court of Northern California, Apple accuses OpenAI of trade secret misappropriation and breach of contract. Lisa Eadicicco and Hadas Gold at CNN I find this about as interesting and watching artificial grass grow, but with the common wisdom being that Apple is behind on “AI”, it was honestly only a matter of time before the lawsuits came. After all, that’s usually what companies who can’t win in the market do. At the very least this will give corporate tech news websites a whole slew of new material. I just hope they both implode. We’d all be better off for it.

Funny.
