ANOTHER crazy allegation: OpenAI tricked one of Apple's partners into showing OpenAI its secret metal-finishing process, telling them that Apple had given them its permission (lol)

81. Former Apple executives at OpenAI including Mr. Tan have confidential knowledge
of Apple’s use restrictions and confidentiality arrangement with this partner. Despite this, OpenAI,
on its own or with or through its partner io, used, without authorization, Apple’s proprietary and
confidential metal-finishing processes, having the partner perform them for OpenAI’s benefit, and in
so doing, obtained products produced by exploiting misappropriated trade secrets. OpenAI and its
cohorts misled the partner to believe they had Apple’s permission to have the partner carry out the
confidential metal-finishing technique for OpenAI’s benefit.

OpenAI's Chief Hardware Officer apparently directed former Apple employees to bring confidential hardware components TO THEIR OPENAI INTERVIEW for "show and tell." Wild... (from the court filing):

I'm a massive fan of both. I was a teenager for most of Jordan's prime. He monopolized the league for that decade.

To be honest, I'm no longer interested in the goat debate. It's been going on for over a decade now and is super boring to me. There's a thousand different ways you can say one is better than the other. No question, Jordan was a better scorer and a better one-on-one player.

🙄 I'm old and super love Jordan. But Lebron made the finals 10 times in 12 years, and making finals but losing is clearly better than losing before finals. He made the finals at age 22. Peak Lebron probably was 2018 where he almost single-handedly made the finals but lost to KD/Curry/Green/Clay.

Neat mac app that does lots of tweaking. But the one I like is change it so clicking yellow stoplight on any app hides instead of minimizes. Also, clicking dock icon of active app hides. I rarely minimize but like hiding apps.

In World War I more U.S. soldiers died of influenza than from combat. In America's first 145 years of war more soldiers and sailors died from infectious diseases than from enemy action. In every single war in human history more combatants have died of illness and disease than bullets and the blade.

“We have a population that has learned — correctly — that pharmaceutical companies have lied, that institutions have failed them…But the response has not been better skepticism. It has been the migration of trust from one set of financially motivated actors to another.” Great point here

For the first time in a regular season game since Jan. 5, 2007 -- a span of 1297 games -- LeBron James has scored in single digits. He passes out of the paint to Hachimura for a buzzer-beating 3 to win, losing the streak in the process.
