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.
> 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. Is that the Elon lesson? I see him behave terribly and suffer little consequence. Much like his political buddies.
Maybe it should be "if the right people like you"

#103Is 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.
I see it as the Anti-AI aesthetic. When you write using this style it is obvious this isn't LLM generated and you signal this is well thought out. If you noticed Sam Altman's latest posts he moved to all lower case, including "I", which I see as due to the same reason
The content does not read like it's well thought out to me, but I am at least convinced it's human.

#104When 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…
Apparently Apple encourages their employees to use their personal iCloud accounts for company information, because their own OS doesn't support one iPhone, multiple iCloud identities. Source: https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/08/03/confidential-appl... So yeah.
Even Microsoft lets you use your personal iCloud account on corp laptops. They can’t snoop your personal data without disabling SIP or showing system level privacy prompts or recording indicators.

#105What really matters is the claim that Apple never raised those issues in the lawsuit with them. OpenAI claims the emails prove this, but to me all the emails prove is Apple sent an email that said “please see the attached letters”. We don’t know what is in the attachments but I imagine those were the relevant issues they raised. Moreover OpenAI says, “[Apple] now admits that Apple employees reached out to him and ask…
The timeline OpenAI wants to present looks like this to me:
- Leaving employee (LE) needs a USB stick to copy data off their Mac to give to their Manager (MA) so someone at Apple still has access
- After LE left, MA has access to LE Mac and iCloud to still access some data
- At some point, LE asks MA to sign out off LE's iMessage account on that Mac as they suspect they'll get OpenAI-related messages soon and don't want Apple/MA to see them
- Eventually, MA deletes the Apple files in LE's iCloud

#106Small digression. Silicon Valley never ceases to deliver top quality entertainment. We desperately need new iteration of Silicon Valley series. On a serious notes, this seems like a desperate attempt to sway public opinion, but hey, Apple is no saint either. This will be a fun season.
Season 7 you mean

#107What I don't understand that if two companies are in legal battle, can they discuss the case and try to influence public swing by doing a blog post or sharing evidence that is not verified by anyone other than the party sharing them.
OpenAI, even after raising this much capital, had never anticipated that something like this could happen yet keeps digging it's own grave.
At this point all that's left is for them to kiss and pay else they're done.
Apple vs OpenAI will be the war of legacies, trust and innovation.

#108This is fucking awesome lmao, now we just need a hundred page google docky from Apple, and a 2 hour video from Mujin breaking it all down.
Finally some proper gen-z representation. Maybe a Cluely-like office comedy web series next? I sense potential.

Nop, that’s extremely weird

Every company does that. It's literally a whole industry: Public Relations
It’s supposed to be subtle. Or at least, more subtle than whatever that is
