OpenAI engineer’s ‘LOL’ moment set stage for legal fight with Apple

Apple sued OpenAI engineer Chang Liu for allegedly leaving with a company MacBook, exploiting a software bug to access internal files, and sharing confidential information with former Apple colleague Alyssa Peng before joining OpenAI. The lawsuit claims OpenAI systematically acquired Apple's trade secrets to replicate its hardware expertise, with Peng later joining OpenAI after assisting Liu.
