Apple accuses Data Scraper Inc. of scraping data.
This appears to go quite a bit beyond scraping data.
I know of a bunch of Apple folks (through a family friend) who went to open AI early on for big pay raises, but said it sucked there and planned to cash out after a year or 2. I wonder if they’re on anyone’s radar. Gonna ask next time I see them.
Yeah ironically OpenAI is stealing hardware secrets here it sounds like
Youre right; its scraping data owned by someone with lots of money and lawyers.
This is not about scraping data.
Exactly. Comments from people not reading the article are not uncommon, but these haven't even read the synopsis included in the post.
Often, the subject of conversations drift or expand to adjacent and related subjects. I have seen so many of these comment police posts trying to constrain the comments to the point where essentially they're just summarizing the article, and I dont understand why.
In my case, I was replying to the previous poster, not the article. In his case, I dont know what his intentions were, but I also don't care whether he read it for the context of the tiny thread it was in. I was responding to the comment he made in that thread.
You can even make your own thread if you don't like this one! Give it a whirl! You can engage with whatever content you want, or make your own. Theres a secret 3rd option, too: you can choose not to engage with it if you dont like it.
I dont think we need 2 comment cops to write us a comment moving violation though. You can cover more ground if you split up and harangue twice as many people at a time.
tldr. Just like you and the article.
Its amazing that you can infer my knowledge and actions without knowing or reading about anything I've done or said.
