We're living through the history of how OpenAI became AppleAI, told in a teenager's diary tone - we just need some doodles in the corners.

As the maker of the iPhone, shouldn't Apple just give each employee a work phone running company's account?
Yes. But that doesn’t solve the problem for every other business or even families that want to share devices between roles or people.

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…
That's not just weird, that's completely ridiculous for the most valuable public US company. And it gets more ridiculous when you realise Apple makes the software, the hardware, the OS, and the cloud services. I... really question the rationale here.

Re: Apple is getting this wrong
#275Is 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.
No. This is a fucking legal case. It will be decided in the courtroom, not on the internet. Posting this is insane in the sense of "What will posting this possibly improve for OpenAI?" It's not going to change the court case. It's not going to impress professional adults. I guess... teenage reddit users with too much time on their hands who are fans of OpenAI? Though struggling to see how that demo would care about a…
OpenAI needs mass consumer buy in because a large part of their strategy is ad supported consumer use. Bad pr pushes those users away. A lot of people have teenage Reddit user mindset

But what makes that necessary context? That can be communicated clearly without specifying Asian, „Apple confused 2 people with the same name“. Adding Asian sort of excuse Apple for the mistake, which is strange for OpenAI to do? I would tend to believe they are implying some casual racism
Because confusing two people because of having the same name is much less likely for European names than for Asian names (there are only about 100 Chinese family names, for instance), so it's an indirect dig that Apple wasn't paying attention (since they presumably employ a lot of Asians, and thus should know better). There's no need to bang on the racism drum, it's pretty tiring.
The “Asian” part is a meaningless information to include in such a blog article, if not to imply that Apple is casually racist…

#277OpenAI quotes from iMessage communications between Liu and Peng
But Apple's motion states that their communications occurred "through the Line messenger app to avoid detection by Apple"

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…

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.

But I don’t have to use any apps from the store, in fact I’d say that at my company there aren’t any apps available on the store that we use. So the parent is right, it’s perfectly usable without ever touching iCloud. I don’t think I’ve ever even opened the settings for it on my work laptop
Apple certainly uses Numbers, Pages, etc. internally extensively, so you really do have to sign into an iCloud account as an employee.
That's rough. Not just the iCloud thing but, Numbers is so much worse than Excel or even Google Sheets.
