Is it normal for a company this big to make a public blog post like this with almost no introduction to what they’re on about? I would expect them to start out with something like Apple is suing us for yada yada yada, but instead it reads like the diary of a hurt teenager.

They spend a lot of the investors’ money on that. All the videos they put out are extremely high quality.

They literally have communication experts sitting there, breaking their heads over how to influence the public opinion in the company’s favor.

I guess they learned it from Elon: if people like you, they’ll just hold your stock forever, even if you don’t make much money.

When I look at the imessage conversation, one thing strikes me: that guy looks to be using the same icloud account he used when working for Apple with OpenAI. Is he using his own personal account? Why do both Apple and OpenAI allow that in the first place, this look so amateur. I would have assumed each company would have opened a different account for him and locked him when leaving. Is it standard practice at both…

I have never worked at a place where they gave us corporate Apple accounts. We’ve always been asked to use our personal Apple account to install apps used for work.

Which is the point I've created a work Apple id unless they specifically set it up to prevent it.

Which has happened. Bonkers configuration.

Apple is getting everything wrong these days. I am so disappointed after buying a Mac mini M4 last year how everything is sandboxed and behind insane numbers of security layers. I will be moving to Linux as soon as my wallet allows it.

The F does this have to do with anything?

Many years ago, back when I was a junior, I wrote something like this to my manager, complaining about another employee who has wronged me. I eventually decided not to send it because it just seemed so unprofessional.

Wild that a company this big would post this on their official, public blog.

> after confusing two Asian last names

What a fucking a joke - throw some cheap shots in there trying to stir things up by pointing out they were Asian

Everything I read about OpenAI makes me dislike them more and more - really can’t stand that company’s culture - I have “friends” who work there and it makes complete sense

Yep, that's exactly what i thought at first look. This looks like one of those "letting-steam-off" mails you bin after thinking it through after cooling off.

> we do not have, nor want, any of their trade secrets. We’re much more interested in building innovative products and technologies that push the frontier. The veiled implication here is hilariously petty. This entire document is hilariously petty. And apparently, ignorant of the news cycle. This does not build more trust in OpenAI. If it's-totally-a-misunderstanding and Apple-should-have-communicated-better is the b…

Also a completely meaningless statement. Essentially “You didn’t need to file because your lawsuit is wrong” er… yea of course you’d say that or there wouldn’t need to be a lawsuit.
