One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

I Deliberately Bet Like a Problem Gambler. DraftKings Made Me a VIP.
Amid growing public health concerns, operators like DraftKings have touted “responsible gaming” tools and prompts. But as I went off the deep end, I found they were no match for the incentives and pro...
![8. Tang Yew Tan spent twenty-four years at Apple, most recently as Vice President of
Product Design for iPhone and Apple Watch. Today he is OpenAI’s Chief Hardware Officer. Apple
entrusted Mr. Tan with its most sensitive projects, trusted partner relationships, proprietary manufacturing techniques, and unreleased products. Apple’s investigation has revealed that Mr. Tan has been
methodically using Apple’s confidential information to benefit OpenAI.
9. In the months before he left Apple, Mr. Tan met with OpenAI or its collaborators and
discussed meetings with a key Apple supplier. He began emailing himself information about Apple’s
suppliers and internal summaries of the consumer electronics industry. And today, when interviewing
Apple employees for jobs at OpenAI, Mr. Tan uses Apple’s confidential information to gain access
to even more insider knowledge. He has used an Apple internal project codename to ask, “What’s the
plan[?]” for an unannounced Apple product. He has directed job candidates still working for Apple
to bring “Actual parts” from Apple to their interviews for “show and tell” sessions in which he and
his team at OpenAI can elicit still more Apple confidential information. These directions to bring
Apple’s parts to OpenAI job interviews surprised at least one of the candidates, who commented that
he “didn’t even know we could take those from the office.”
10. This is part of OpenAI’s strategy to extract Apple’s confidential information. OpenAI
has been instructing Apple employees to bring “CAD/design artifacts” and “prototypes” to their interviews and to divulge details about their work such as “subsystem and component selection,” the
“tools or methodologies you use for system integration, such as CAD software, simulation tools,”
and “Vendor selection and communication/collaboration with vendors.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yrt5gwlcn3kn4xgeoef4hbpy/bafkreigpfkxa34bhnn5jwsehpir3p426ytizq7n3ss6rl3qomlnmih6744)
