Happened at a (large) company I worked for in the past. A devops guy stole the DB ahead of going to work with a rival, he was caught and the rival of course wanted nothing to do with it. I'm not sure of his fate but it couldn't have been much fun.
- gyomu 1mo ago> the rival of course wanted nothing to do with it The key difference here seems to be that OpenAI very much wants something to do with it.
- jjtheblunt 1mo agoIt's almost laughable how their behavior aligns with the "Scam Altman" snarky insult.
- microtherion 1mo agoThat might be the most embarrassing implication for OpenAI out of the whole affair: That OpenAI, supposedly one of the vanguards in AI, saw a need to appropriate intellectual property of Apple, supposedly a complete laggard in that field.
- mdasen 1mo agoWere they trying to get Apple's AI IP? I haven't followed that closely, but it seems like a lot of it has been around hardware design, not AI.
- dkuntz2 1mo agoit doesn't seem like they want apple's ai secrets, they want apple's electrical engineering secrets for building physical devices
- blitzar 1mo agoHappens occasionally at big corporations, even the bloodsucking vampire. Best to distance yourself from such employees - lest they will do to you what they have done to others. The difference is, relative to OpenAi they have standards and morals.
- brazukadev 1mo agoIn this case there is a big chance he was hired by OpenAI because of that - or even was asked to do it.
