It’s really about the potential upside of the stock options. I’d guess the salaries are comparable to Apple’s, maybe with a small bump to encourage a job move, but the chance to get pre-IPO stock that could greatly outperform Apple’s in a short period is very enticing.
I think Ive started to lose marbles still while at Apple and the fact that he got more and more snobbish with age doesn't help either.
Asking questions before responding my guy...thats what I'm saying about people leaving.
He did some great stuff. It doesn't mean he does great stuff now.
That analogy doesn't exactly work, because the gas is worth the same to both companies. The "gas"/employees have inside knowledge to Apple, this is more valuable to OpenAI, than it is to Apple. Apple(and all tech companies) has(have) NDAs and legal means to keep that information secret. OpenAI is trying to pay the employees more, to get them to leave Apple, and then illegally obtain that information from the employees.
I guess. I wonder what took them so long. Or was it purely a marketing ploy and nothing more. I hope we will see it soon, it will either be trash or great, they cannot settle with “ok” because it is supposed to be some sort of new product category, people won’t be getting it just because it is “ok”
There would be nothing to back up a suit against Apple for this, unless there's explicit proof written somewhere that says that they planned to sue OpenAI in order to cast a shadow over the company in order to prevent employees from wanting to move there. Apple isn't responsible for how people perceive their prospects at another company.
If they have the goal of harvesting a lot of information about their customers, and trying to lock them into an ecosystem they control, hardware is a very tempting goal to pursue despite the barriers to entry.
Exactly, but good luck proving the other sourdough bread recipe was stollen (bread joke) from the other one.
It pretty easy if you gave an internal confidential document containing said recipe from the previous bakery to your manager at the new bakery. That document didn't magically appear in the new bakery. Fairies didn't wave their magic wands. Someone did it, and if that someone was you, then ....
Context. This is all about IP. Thats what this whole thing is about.
He doesn’t. The only things he’s been right on recently are the same things any of us would be right on. “Apple will release an iPhone 18 in 2026” type stuff.
Except in the EU. Specifically if you’re a non-EU company. If you’re a company that competed well WITHOUT engaging in activities monopolists engage in, you’ll still be targeted simply because they just can’t abide fairly obtained success of any kind. 🙂
OpenAI tried the easiest of easy plays, making a browser. Low barrier to entry, opportunity for folks to experience, be delighted by and use and then that could be parlayed into other initiatives building from those learning experiences.
I think a lot of his Apple rumors are people inside leaking to him. This doesn’t appear to be that.
imho most of his "news" are fed by Apple, there might be a small number of "leakers" (employees who reach out to him without Apple's knowledge) and I a free with your 2nd sentence, this is his opinion only

I imagine they are looking to make ChatGPT the OS, at least the front end. But if I'm writing a novel or a dissertation or something, I still need to actually write, in an app of some kind. If I'm a graphic designer or visual artist, the same. AI can be a good partner that can expand and accelerate the amount of work I can do, but as long as I want to do work myself, I still need to interact with other kinds of tools.
