    So, instead of paying real humans to take care and stop fires before their start, let’s do this? I guess giving people more jobs and helping the community is too much, it seems.

    Oh, that is going to be fun to hack. Not to mention, I seriously doubt that machine for many reasons. I see a lot of issues with that.

    Consider solar blimp drones with heat detecting cameras and small reservoirs of fire retardant.

      And a bunch of Spots (Boston Dynamics) to carry on the firehose rapidly

    Swarms of solar power drones flying in coordination over the forests and equipped with heat and infra-red detectors. They coud have a small fire retardant reservoir for 1st combat intervention, but more powerful drones with bigger reservoirs (located in strategic points of the forest) would be automatically or manually deployed for quick extinction.

    No privacy even in the forests anymore? Are they hunting bigfoot now?????????

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?
