Why does the iMessage screenshot look “off”. Something about the line-height, fonts used, etc don’t look like a real iMessage chat. Am I alone on this?
It’s not a screenshot. It’s a formatted reconstruction from a transcript.

Latin alphabet transcription of East Asian languages tend to be incredibly lossy and there tends to be a lot of ambiguities. That Vietnamese surname of Nguyen is formally written as Nguyễn in the current script, or as 阮 in the old adapted Hanzi script, and practically pronounced somewhere around "gwen". Most other EA countries tend to do equivalents of "阮" -> "gwen", and East Asian cultures generally prefer Last-Firs…
Yes, but why specify it? Why not just say „they confused 2 people with the same name“? Adding „Asian“ doesn’t add anything to the story other than flagging Apple as casually racist
they don't have the same name, the email confusion was between Wang and Chang

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.

Do you mean hanlon’s razor?

My company locks down the USB ports on our macbooks so that only input devices are recognized. Flash drives and the like are not recognized. We’re a small private company in the telco space so definitely not the mob or a cartel. Why would I need a USB drive to docker build or run a debugger?
Firmware development, IoT, basically anything embedded. Mobile devs that want a responsive debugger. Yubikey authentication. Smart card readers. Remoting into air-gapped machines. Thats just stuff I do.I’m sure there are many other use cases. For context, I work for a very large company in Redmond that has a renowned history of antitrust litigation.
Lot of places just lock down USB to read only. Exceptions could be made for specific machines and device IDs.
It's pretty common really - and if the internal disk is fully encrypted reasonably hard to easily exfiltrate a large amount of data.
Of course that doesn't stop taking screenshots with another device but that's a slow process

#305They are genuinely holding on to the one minor mishap from Apple that was corrected right after. Either way, grabbing popcorn to see how this plays out in court.

You got your crude analogy backwards - it is the calculated, tactical PR-speak that is more like shitting up the public square, than the naive, honest-if-self-serving speech.
Did no one ever explain to you why you should wear nice clothes to a job interview? Or a wedding? Not simply that you should, but why? Conducting onesself with decorum and professionalism in certain contexts is not about deception. It's about respecting other people, both individually/directly, and the communal space. Even if you consciously don't care about or respect anyone else, "everyone else is wrong for not bei…
Is that what we're calling PR-department-written say-nothing corporate lawyerspeak? "Decorum"?
I guess when people get banned, and only get cited a vague "violation of our terms of service", they should be grateful for how much professionalism and respect they're being shown? And actually being told what you are accused of is equivalent to wearing flip-flops to a wedding?

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.
Just more mismanagement by Sam.
It is interesting to see CEOs of big tech companies are so convinced they are always right that they start sidestepping any internal review of communication. Often to the detriment of the company.

#308When 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…
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.
I've always created a new Apple ID with my work email for every place I've been that's issued an iPhone. No chance in hell I'm signing on to a corporate managed device with my personal Apple ID.

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.
Not anymore, it’s been slowly improving over the years and is pretty good now.

I'm saying it's bad because my new work laptop has Numbers instead of Excel ;_;
There are CSVs I had to import into GSheets because Numbers was choking.
