Apple v. OpenAI Lawsuit: Hardware Division "Rotten"?

Apple is suing OpenAI. The lawsuit, a 40-page document, suggests Apple views OpenAI's hardware division as "rotten to its core." Here's the thing: The case primarily targets two, possibly three, individuals. Apple believes if the case goes to trial, more individuals could be implicated. One former Apple Senior System Electrical Engineer, Chang Liu, now at OpenAI, faces significant trouble if allegations are true. Apple claims to have evidence from his use of Apple-owned hardware. What's interesting is the parallel drawn to the Anthony Levandowski case, who faced prison time. Apple is not suing Yu-Ting “Alyssa” Peng, named as a co-conspirator with Liu, who also went to work at OpenAI. This raises questions about her potential cooperation with Apple's investigation. The case against Tang Tan, another named defendant, appears less defined. It seems Apple discovered information about him while investigating Liu. The bottom line: These allegations could have serious consequences for individuals transitioning between major tech companies.
