It reads direct and unrehearsed, instead of like something where all humanity has been sanded off by legal and PR departments.

Direct and unrehearsed doesn't seem like the right tack for a high-stakes legal dispute between two (allegedly) trillion-dollar companies. Especially since they've not been able to make a coherent point here.

Only one allegedly.

>They now admit that their outside lawyers emailed the wrong person after confusing two Asian last names—only after we brought this to their attention. I find it bizarre that they felt the need to specify "Asian". What does that have to do with anything?

They are definitely trying to get you to think that Apple (the company perhaps single-handedly responsible for developing Chinese manufacturing) is racist

I’m not saying they’re racist but I will say that them using Chinese manufacturing isn’t an argument against it. Most top level leadership, which include the people who would have initiated this investigation, actually have a small representation of Asians [1] compared to the rest of the business [2].

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 w…

Granted, Apple does do this weird thing where you're invited to use your personal iCloud (/Apple) account for work-related things (I suspect because they're just bad at supporting multiple accounts simultaneously). As part of the deal, your iCloud account gets upgraded during your employment. But they're also quite explicit and repeat the directive (including during the exit interview) about removing Apple files from…

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.

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

He's done that forever. For a while he stopped doing it, which made people think everything he posted was ChatGPT.

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.

they assume if someone wants context, they'll just ask chatGPT for it

“Nothing in my training data covers this, but if I had to guess, OpenAI may have released information about GPU support in Mac OS X early, pissing off Steve Jobs.”
