OpenAIs response:

https://openai.com/index/apple-is-getting-this-wrong/

Personally, this reads a bit ridiculous in the face of what Apple is claiming but time will tell.

This should be shown in court, first, to avoid predictable blowback around making a weak-appeal.

I feel like OpenAI is attempting to obscure the public sentiment trend. And that are willing to taint a jury pool by releasing evidence.

I assume then, that OpenAI is "feeling" or has determined it is perceived negatively by the public, in general. They may be seeking to influence their talent pipeline, to reduce inbound constraint they predict are coming from a lack of perceived trustworthiness of OpenAI.

Seems inappropriate for OpenAI to post this public-appeal, to me.

Tech company drama is followed by .1% of the population. The jury pool is not going to be tainted. This has no impact on the public and nobody expects it to.

		Tech company drama *not on the front page. This has been front page material for multiple non-tech media outlets. Though I don’t know how much I would believe that this is them trying to taint a jury pool.

It’s the insinuation of racism regarding the “mixing up Asian last names” bit that’s really got me feeling like their response is the public appeal move.

"Weak security" isn't a defense to theft, so probably wont.

They are desperate and are behaving desperately. Who actually qualifies anything they say anymore anyway? I certainly don't

yeah that is pretty crazy, who is even the intended audience? This seems like something they'd be discussing with their legal team instead of blogging about it. To me, these kinds of public outbursts are just making their hole deeper.

IP disputes between some of the richest corporations on the planet don't get a lot of sympathy in the court of public opinion anyway. Even if they did, what difference does it make? There isn't a sheriff or DA with a public face that has to make a decision here.

I mean... who has control over OpenAI's web page? No self-respecting PR firm would do something like this. And Counsel must be hopping mad.

Wow. This makes Apple seem like amateur hour. The case should be dismissed with prejudice.

		Does it though? It certainly seems like that's what openai wants, but even with a tiny grain of salt this just looks ugly to me. Also trying to make the texts look like imessages even though they're clearly rewritten (not screenshots) is off-putting.
