The 6 wildest claims in Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI

The 6 wildest claims in Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI

Apple's 41-page complaint accuses OpenAI of a systematic poaching campaign with aggressive tactics. OpenAI allegedly coached Apple employees on bypassing security checks and asked for 'show and tell' of internal projects during interviews. The suit claims OpenAI targeted managers who could bring entire teams, hiring at least 20 Apple staffers—some allegedly took next-gen chip designs. Apple wants data returned and damages; the post doesn't specify the amount. Grain of salt: this is one side's filing, but the 'show and tell' claim, if true, crosses a clear line.

Why it matters: Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI hits all three HKR marks with concrete allegations about poaching tactics and chip design risks. Not scoring higher because we only have Apple's side—OpenAI hasn't responded yet, so the full picture is still pending.
