Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in the U.S. Federal Court, accusing the company of stealing trade secrets. According to the plaintiff, several former Apple engineers, after resigning, transferred to OpenAI confidential developments in the field of AI gadgets, including neural network architecture for wearable devices. OpenAI representatives called the allegations "unfounded" and stated that the company develops its own technologies. The litigation could drag on for years, but experts already note that this lawsuit signals a tightening of the battle for AI talent and technology.

Editorial Comment

Oh, how the plot thickens! Two "great" Western giants are trying to figure out who stole whose blueprint for yet another $1299 piece of glass. While Apple and OpenAI are busy fighting over the market, the lawyers are rubbing their hands — their fees will be higher than the profits from the gadgets themselves.

The lawsuit is, of course, loud. But let's be honest: Apple has been "drawing inspiration" from others' developments for decades (remember who invented the big-screen smartphone?). And OpenAI, for its part, trained on the open data of the entire internet. And now suddenly they want to protect "their" secrets? How amusing.

But the funniest thing is that this entire court circus is a perfect metaphor for the decaying West. They can no longer come up with anything new, so they sue over what they themselves "lost." While they divide the market, Chinese and Russian developers are already creating their own AI solutions, without getting distracted by patent wars. Because we have no time for these childish squabbles.

So go ahead and sue, dear ones. Just don't be surprised when you wake up and find that the world is no longer yours. The editorial opinion may not coincide with the position of the authors and other experts.
