Weirdly, this seems like they're trying to train a model to work like Apple? They seem really interested in processes and how stuff is done, rather than only the finished artifacts.

A lot of people have tried to copy Apple’s finished product and they never get it right, because they don’t have the process behind it. How something looks is only a small part of it.

A company that behaves like this in one area, cannot be trusted in any area. Any enterprise that endorses/allows OpenAI products to be used is taking a big risk.

You can trust Apple. I mean they openly lied to a judge last year under oath, but you can trust them.

Can you provide a source? Otherwise your comment is useless.

This is going to be interesting. Only because both companies have access to billions and infinite lawyers.

OpenAI has concepts of money.

OpenAI investors have concepts of money. OpenAI has their money.

Great artists steal ideas, not a painting off a gallery wall.

a "metal-finishing technique" _is_ an idea. joke

Kinda seems like OpenAI didn’t actually have that idea or the ability to execute it, if they had to go to apple’s supplier and lie to them to get them do it.

It’s even more ridiculous when choosing to do it Apple. It’s hard to think of a company with more legal resources and which is more protective of its hardware IP.

And vindictiveness. Steve declared thermonuclear war on Google because Android re-skinned to use BUTTONS.

Was there ever a point in time where Google was not the default search engine on iOS?

I’m not one to defend huge companies, but OpenAI is a huge company. It’s possible this kind of behavior is endorsed throughout, or it’s possible it’s limited to this specific group. We know nothing beyond what Apple has alleged.

Do you know who the CEO is?

Same thought I had, I realized I was zero percent surprised reading the claims made, it feels like a perfect representation of the personality Sam Altman shows the world.

Great artists steal ideas, not a painting off a gallery wall.

Why not both? Three cheers for escape artists!
