Apple’s OpenAI lawsuit is about who gets to define the post-smartphone era

- Not on the manifest! Apple’s trade secret lawsuit against OpenAI is a compliance nightmare. Allegations of ex-Apple staff soliciting hardware secrets during interviews? Creative compliance at its finest. Apple, the tenacious litigant, is auditing OpenAI’s soul. Unlike Samsung’s billion-dollar settlement, OpenAI is cash-strapped and adrift.

That’s accounting condensation. Sign here.
