Yay for more cherry-picked information.

A substantial amount of evidence in Apple's complaint isn't addressed, but what's shown here throws a decent amount of shade and doubt.

I have my popcorn ready for discovery. I hope it gets to that point, and I hope it proceeds to trial...

I can't see a judge looking kindly on this being published prior to trial.

It's in court already, fight it there. Even if you win public opinion with your point of view you can still lose in court.

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 Apple and OpenAI for employees to use their personal icloud account for work?

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.

This feels like a trumpian tantrum from someone at openai. If they’re innocent, just win the lawsuit. Is this quibbling over details supposed to win the public over? Because afaik the public doesn’t know or care about this, and publicizing it just makes it worse.

Whereas I never worked in places where IT would not see that as a security violation.

Setting aside the presented evidence, it feels weird for somewhat emotionally charged complaining like this to go on an official company blog. Companies are generally pretty tight-lipped about active litigation outside court documents, right? This just seems a bit amateurish, down to the title. Is public opinion about this case so important to them?
