Apple says more ex-employees may have taken confidential data to OpenAI https://techcrunch.com/2026/08/04/apple-says-more-ex-employees-may-have-taken-confidential-data-to-openai/
LOL. OpenAI's business model is around stealing people's data and then selling it as tokens to anyone who can pay. I'm not surprised at all. The only difference here is Apple has enough money and resources to sue OpenAI and can fight for years, while your average book writer or artist doesn't have any resources other than cursing OpenAI online. The question is will court deliver justice to all?

Also, I'm not saying Apple is perfect or better or has bigger morals here, etc. But stealing is stealing. A case like this, if it gets the right outcome, might actually allow small folks to sue OpenAI and other AI companies in small claims court or consumer court for stealing their books or artists' work etc using OpenAI vs Apple refernce. So I think it would be a good thing if the court delivered the correct justice, regardless of how rich or poor you are.
