APPLE SUES OPENAI, ACCUSING IT=
OF STEALING COMPANY SECRETS (5 MINUTE

Apple has accused=
OpenAI of stealing secrets about products still in
development. OpenAI's=
new hardware business allegedly asked job
candidates from Apple to share=
details about secret projects and to
bring device components and prototy=
pes to their interviews. It used
the information to approach at least one=
of Apple's manufacturing
partners, asking them to demonstrate Apple's te=
chnique for finishing
metal on its devices. Apple is seeking an injunctio=

prevent OpenAI from possessing, using, or sharing its trade =

<strong>Apple Sues OpenAI, Accusing=

<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Apple has accused OpenAI of stealing se= crets about products still in development. OpenAI's new hardware business a= llegedly asked job candidates from Apple to share details about secret proj= ects and to bring device components and prototypes to their interviews. It = used the information to approach at least one of Apple's manufacturing part= ners, asking them to demonstrate Apple's technique for finishing metal on i=

Our thoughts about the smartest way to = accomplish a task will become increasingly stupid compared to AI's way of d= oing it as time goes on. This necessitates a switch from prompt engineering=

how a thing should be done. People should review older prompts and switch = their 'how' prompts into 'what' prompts.

<strong>The Reverse Information Par= adox (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>

<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
AI creates a problem where buyers risk = giving away knowledge just to use what they bought. They essentially pay fo=
r intelligence twice: once with money, and again with the proprietary knowl= edge they must reveal to make that intelligence useful. Over time, the sell=
er learns more and more about their customers while buyers learn very littl=
e about what the seller is learning in return. This reverse information par= adox needs to be confronted, as companies should be able to use models with= out giving up knowledge that makes them unique.
