Standard BS response.

John Gruber:

Let’s say I think you stole my wallet. I approach a police officer and tell him my suspicion and describe the evidence that makes me think you have my wallet in your pocket. “Is that his wallet in your pocket?” the cop asks.

“I have no interest in other people’s wallets” would be a rather curious answer.

"I have no interest in the things I set up a whole racket to steal from you."

Lol they are cooked, and they better not run to the current US administration for help!

 

[applicious84]

Hmm. Reads like ai. Even their public statements are fake.

 

[Will Co]

Oh. That's OK then. Nothing to worry about. Nothing to see here. Glad that's all cleared up.

 

[svish]

Would not expect to hear anything else from any company accused of any allegation.

 

[All Taken]

"I have never seen that man before in my life!"

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

That settles it then. Case dismissed.

"We have no interest in other companies secrets which is why we hired 400 ex-Apple employees."

“We remain focused on building innovative technology”

A reminder that openai didn’t invent transformers. They just implemented a paper published by google. it’s Google’s R&D

 

[Ositoday]

Well a response like: “we will collaborate with justice to get this situation cleared” would be more honest for both parties even

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Hey, we've tried to build life-changing hardware ourselves, but it's a lot harder than we thought.

 

[Dribo]

We have no interest in these trade secrets. Whether or not we ended up with trade secrets doesn't really matter because, you know, we aren't interested. We're good now right?

 

[Nyx1]

What a statement. Can't wait for this battle grab 🍿

 

[8CoreWhore]

FBI should be raiding their place. And did the employee give it to China?

"We have no interest in other companies' trade secrets," said OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri

Maybe they meant:
We have no FURTHER interest in other companies' trade secrets
🤭

Standard BS response.

Yup, and smart on their part. The less they say right now, the better. The affidavit was a firehose of accusations and addressing them outside of the legal process is a bad idea. They definitely don't want to get into specifics.

 

[AppleFan91]

I mean, I believe ‘em, if you ignore their recent actions, poaching Apple’s talent relentlessly and if everything Apple is alleging is somehow entirely fabricated.

This is what happens when you go in all hot-to-trot for a job interview and (after what seems like the beginnings of a fine cordial meeting) you realize that you are sitting across from the interrogation wing of the Stasi.


This is also the response the Stasi might give when confronted.

“We have no interest in other companies’ trade secrets,” said an OpenAI spokesperson. “But if we could train our models on them... well...”

 

[eldaaran]

For a company whose entire business is built around stealing the collective intellectual property of humanity and then charging a fee to access it, Open AI chose quite possibly the most hypocritical rebuttal imaginable.

 

[McWetty]

Legal fun aside, I’d like to take the time to appreciate that this might be the shortest MR post ever. Bravo for not over SEO’ing this thing.

Oh sure I believe OpenAI wholeheartedly * NOT *
