    The only positive thing I truly hope from this is that with Microsoft pocket book we get new Spyro and Tony hawk games

    Think…woke vision and woke theory subtly implanted in your child’s mind before it can think for itself! My grandchildren loved playing “dunk the apple in the barrel” at 18months. THINK what this kind of Monopoly can do to distort the future. 15minue cities? Judge Dred scenario?!?!?

Apple filed a trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI last Friday, and it’s not messing around. The complaint alleges a pattern of misconduct reaching all the way up to OpenAI’s chief hardware officer and claims more than 400 former Apple employees now work at the company. OpenAI’s response so far has been carefully hedged, and the timing couldn’t be worse with the company reportedly eyeing an IPO as early as later this year.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into what the lawsuit could mean for OpenAI’s own hardware ambitions and IPO timeline, plus a bigger theme running through the week’s news: how much should anyone trust AI companies with their data?
