A lot of the tension around generative AI comes from the fact that the abstraction layer is often presented as interchangeable with the underlying craft

There may be real misconduct here, but "some employees mishandled confidential information" and "OpenAI must stop developing AI hardware" are very different claims

Apple still has to prove the allegations and show that they justify an injunction against the product itself

You think Apple would go through all this trouble if they didn't think they had a rock-solid case?

Absolutely. I don’t know how strong their case is or isn’t, BUT if you hire Jony Ive and a bunch of Apple device people in order to build something that is a threat to the “Apple tax” revenue machine, they are coming after you without a doubt.

Yes. They have done so in the past and according to open ai they have lied with certain details. This article portrays Apple quite differently

I may be ignorant on the matter, maybe they've done that kind of thing before.

>according to OpenAI

The most juvenile "press release" I've ever seen a company post on purpose isn't the strongest evidence against them, though. Forgive me if I take everything OpenAI say with an ocean's worth of salt.
