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.
This reads like a mypillow CEO type post. Its insane this is coming from a company with as much scope as openai. Scope may not be the right word.
Data theft (i.e. taking corporate IP) was normalised until very recently (I'd say the last 2-3 years with the rise of the adoption of DLP and public litigation). A few examples I can think of thing I've heard _just_ in my own career; terabytes of client data taken by a former consultant, sales reps that joined _solely for the purpose_ of taking this quarter's leads and then ghosting the company, execs forcing the use…
It used to be a thing that dev were keeping source code and all in old time. I remember a manager during an internship telling me to do clean code because later I might have to reuse piece of code in further work experiences. It was the time when code was shared with zip and so or net shares. At that time there wasn't that many "software shop" and it was just a way to do things in other company like hardware manufact…
I actually recall the lead engineers in my department coming into work on their last day with a harddrive. The same people who had access to national databases, and production systems that impacted the majority of the country’s population. That simply wouldn’t happen today.
Although I’m not someone who’s dealing with PCB schematics or bleeding edge IP.

Always found it odd that Apple don't let you have a second separate business profile to switch your phone to for work - especially when you don't necessarily want to be bringing browser history/personal apps into your workplace or wifi. Having your iphone locked to your personal account also hobbles their continuity features if you work on a business computer with its own work account (as most businesses do). Faceboo…
>Always found it odd that Apple don't let you have a second separate business profile to switch your phone to for work - especially when you don't necessarily want to be bringing browser history/personal apps into your workplace or wifi. I'm guessing it's the same reason they don't offer multiple accounts on iPad. They would rather you bought more devices.
This looks like PR disaster to me, but of course I am only a pair of eyes and a brain without accelerated reinforcement learning.
This looks like a company that's in a downward spiral. They're doing anything they can to attempt to salvage their reputation, maybe because when the court date finally rolls around it might already be too late.
Reading through this, the Apple side of the story is actually the more fascinating one. It's frankly bizarre that a company of that scale had to rely on a former employee's (Chang Liu) personal iCloud access. It exposes a massive flaw in Apple's offboarding and internal system management. Combine that with their legal team confusing an Asian surname and emailing the wrong person, and publicly, Apple just ends up look…
I mean it makes sense. They somehow still don't have a proper product for businesses to manage Apple devices and accounts. Instead people have to rely on third party integrations. What happens if someone is fired and had kept info only on their personal account that is highly valuable ? Or wants to steal corporate info?
I am not sure why that should matter. If company can handle BYOD model then they should solve that on hardware level - by issuing work phones (and other devices).
Sorry y'all, but this case will settle out of court for peanuts, OpenAI will still release their hardware (which very well might flop), and they'll still IPO.
This is the kind of post I would expect from Matt at WordPress.

I find it refreshing that they are skipping the typical hedged corporate speak.
I think the pendulum will then swing back to the expectation that companies act and behave like adults rather than cringy kids trying to be cool.
