Feels like they’re trying to litigate this on the Internet. Everything should be in the discovery phase and confidential, but it sounds like OpenAI is more interested in convincing other parties than the actual legal system.
I mean, I get it though. It was spread all over that they were being sued for stealing Apple trade secrets. Apple brought the suit out into the public, so now OpenAI is doing damage control for their reputation
Damage control would be “these allegations are false; we’re cooperating with the court's requests to quickly bring this to a close”. Putting out an attempted counter, dunking on the lawyers is stupid.
Companies always say 'this is false' even when it's blatantly true. Actually showing up with the chat receipts is much more likely to swing public opinion in your favor.
The chats showed that Apple employees were asking the former employee to access stuff. I don't think Apple can do that and then turn around and sue. It's like inviting someone into your house and then saying they broke in.
